let the height of the tree = x

Let the height of the tree = H meters
The part of the tree that is visible = 2/5 * H
the part which is hidden by the building = H - 2/5 * H = H * [ 1 - 2/5 ]
= 3/5 * H
the part hidden of the tree = the height of the building
3/5 * H = 9 meters
H = 9 * 5 / 3 = 15 meters
The part of the tree that is visible = 2/5 * H
the part which is hidden by the building = H - 2/5 * H = H * [ 1 - 2/5 ]
= 3/5 * H
the part hidden of the tree = the height of the building
3/5 * H = 9 meters
H = 9 * 5 / 3 = 15 meters
