Answer:
18m
Step-by-step explanation:
The two triangles so formed by the tree, shadow and the line joining their ends
will be similar by AA similarly criteria
As one angle in both will be 90° and the other angle is the angle of elevation of the sun. therefore the triangles will be similar then the sides will be proportional.
Let the height of tree be x then
24/16=x/12
x=18m
Hope you got your answer for easy understanding try to make the diagram of the triangles!
