Answer: Height of second tree would be 7.27 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height of a tree = 12 yards

Length of shadow of tree = 33 yards

If the shadow of tree = 20 yards

Then, we need to find the height of tree.

Since there is direct relation between height of tree and length of its shadow.

So, Let the height of tree in the second case be 'x'.

So, it becomes,

\dfrac{12}{33}=\dfrac{x}{20}\\\\\dfrac{12\times 20}{33}=x\\\\7.27\ yards=x

Hence, height of second tree would be 7.27 yards.

Shadow\ of\ second\ three\ is\\\\
33+20=53\\
Triangles\ made\ of\ three\ and\ shadows\ are\ similar, so\\
Proportion\ of\ length\ of\ shadow:\ \frac{53}{33}\\\\
Height\ will\ be\ on\ the\ same\ proportion\\\\
\frac{x}{12}=\frac{53}{33}\\\\
3x=53*12\\
3x=636\\
x=212\\
Second\ three\ has\ 212\ yards.
