The dad is 5.5 feet tall.
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 man is twice as high as his shadow. Therefore, the tree must also be twice as high as its shadow, which would make the tree 40 feet tall.
A 1 foot shadow I think.

The tree is 33 feet tall. Use ratios to solve this equation. 6/4 = n/22 6 x 22 = 4n 4n = 132 n = 33
