The tree is 20 feet tall if the 6-foot tall man has a 9-foot shadow at the same time a tree standing next to him as a 30-foot shadow.
It is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees and the other two are sharp angles. The sides of a right-angled triangle are known as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base.
From the right angle triangle,
The ratio of the man height and his shadow is equal to the tree height(h) and its shadow.
6/9 = h/30
h = 20 feet
Thus, the tree is 20 feet tall if the 6-foot tall man has a 9-foot shadow at the same time a tree standing next to him as a 30-foot shadow.
