a man who is 6 feet tall casts a shadow that is 11 feet long. At the same time, a tree casts a shadow that is 33 feet long. What is the height of the tree.
Something that is 6ft tall with an 11ft shadow is the same relation as something that is x ft tall with a 33ft shadow. You can set up a proportion and then cross-multiply to solve for x (which is the height of the tree)
