To find the height of the tree using the information given about the distance to the tip of the shadow, we typically apply the concept of similar triangles if we had further context, such as the angle of elevation of the sun. However, without additional details, we can’t compute the exact height.
If you have more information or can clarify how the height relates to the shadow length, feel free to share! For now, I recommend checking your materials or discussing this with a teacher for more specific guidance.
