How can you determine how tall a tree is if it casts a shadow that measures 5 m and at the same time a meter stick casts a shadow that is 0.4 m long?

Can a measuring tape be used as a meter stick?
Yes, a measuring tape can be used as a meter stick, as both are tools designed to measure length. Measuring tapes typically have markings for various units, including meters, making them suitable for measuring the same distances as a meter stick. However, measuring tapes may be less rigid and can bend, which might affect precision in certain situations compared to the straight edge of a meter stick.
Are yards and meters in the same unit of measuring?
The English system is measured in units of yards. Meter unit length in the metric system.
How could you determine the distance to the moon knowing only the diameter and having only a meter stick and a pen?
Stand facing the moon. Hold your arm straight out holding the ruler horizontal and across your line of sight. Raise or lower the ruler stick so that the diameter of the moon is aligned with the straight edge. Using the pen, mark the apparent positions of the two ends of the diameter. Suppose the distance between then is x millimetres. Measure the distance from your eye to the ruler stick = y mm. Suppose the known diameter of the moon is m km. Then, by similar triangles, x/y = m/d where the distance to the moon is d km. That is, d = (m*y/x) km. It is best to use the same measurement unit for x and y, and for m and d. They can be Imperial or metric (or made up ones). That will avoid having to convert.
