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.

The tree is 25 feet tall. A 5 foot pole cast a 2 foot shadow. This means that the sun angle causes the shadow to be 2/5 the length of the object casting it. The tree's shadow is 10 feet tall. Multiply 10 feet by 5/2 (inverting the fraction because we're going the other way) and we get 25 feet.
