Answer: 8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. First, you can draw the diagram shown in the image attached.

3. Now, you must use proportions and solve for x, which is the height of the tree:

\frac{x}{9}=\frac{4}{4.5}\\x=\frac{(4)(9)}{4.5}\\x=\frac{36}{4.5}\\x=8

4. As you can see, the height of the tree is 8 feet.
