Using similarity principle, the height of the tree is 1.97 meters

<h3>How to find height of the tree?</h3>

He is 1.75 meters tall.

His shadow = 33.7 meters

The length of the tree shadows = 37.95 meters

Using similarity principles where the corresponding length are a ratio of each other.

Therefore,

1.75 / x = 33.7 / 37.95

cross multiply

37.95 × 1.75 = 33.7x

66.4125 = 33.7x

divide both sides by 33.7

x = 66.4125 / 33.7

x = 1.97069732938

x = 1.97 meters
