Answer:
if we draw the diagram of both situation it will make two similar triangle ( with same angle in each side) so their ratio will be as follow
- height of men/ length of shadow = height of tree/ length of tree's shadow
- 5.3/10.6=height of tree/ 52
- 1/2= height of tree/52
- height of tree= 26 feet
