Let x= height of the tree
By ratio and proportion:
6ft/4.5ft = x/15ft
4.5ft x = 6ft (15ft)
x= 20ft.

A shadow is a place where direct light has been blocked from reaching in the presence of direct light around it. Because most direct light is received from the sun, the shadow is cast on the ground. The light would normally have reached the ground, but something (a person, a building, a cloud, etc.) blocked the light between the sun and the ground resulting in a shadow.

Why the shadow of flying bird is not seen on the ground even though it is opaque?
The shadow of a flying bird is not seen on the ground because the bird is not touching the ground to cast a shadow. Shadows are formed when an object is blocking light from a source, but since the bird is not grounded, its shadow is not projected onto the surface below. Additionally, the bird's fast movement may also affect the visibility and clarity of a shadow.
What makes shadows big and small?
