For pole: ratio of shadow to pole = 12/8 = 1.5
So, for tree, ration = 1.5
24/H = 1.5 so H = 24/1.5 = 16 ft

How high is a tree that casts a 24 ft shadow at the same time a 12 ft post casts a shadow which is 12 ft long?
As the sun is far enough away, the rays of light are effectively parallel. This produces similar triangles with the ratio of sides the same in each case. As the shadow of the post is 12 ft and the shadow of the tree is 24 ft, the sides of the triangle of the tree are double that of the post. Assuming the post is parallel to the tree, the tree's height is twice the height of the post → tree = 12 ft × 2 = 24ft high.
