To determine the height of the tree based on the shadow length, we can use the concept of similar triangles. If the tree casts a shadow of 1 foot while a 1-foot pole also casts a shadow of 1 foot, then the height of the tree is the same as the height of the pole. Thus, the tree is also 1 foot tall.

5.5/8 = x/20 x=5.5*20/8 = 13.75 feet

To cast a 19 foot shadow the building would have to be 26.91 feet tall. Each foot of building/tree casts 8.47 inches of shadow.

The shadow:object ratio is 1:1 so the tree is 63 feet high.
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?

It is approx 36.6 ft.
(12 / 5) × 33 = 79.2 feet high Divide the pole shadow by the pole height: (12 / 5) = 2.4 feet Times the 2.4 by the tree shadow of 33 feet: 2.4 x 33 = 79.2
