Make a comparison
\frac{height}{shadow}= \frac{height}{shadow}
\frac{heightof tree}{shadow of three}= \frac{heightofJohn}{shadow of John}

Plug the numbers into the equation above
h stands for the height of tree
\frac{heightof tree}{shadow of three}= \frac{heightofJohn}{shadow of John}
\frac{h}{18}= \frac{6}{3.5}

Do cross multiplication
3.5h = 6 × 18
3.5h = 108
h = 108/3.5
h = 30.8571..

to the nearest hundredth
h = 30.86 feet
to the nearest tenth
h = 30.9 feet
