The first thing we are going to assume for this case is that the tree and the post are located in the same place.
 From that place, both cast a shadow in the same direction.
 We then have two similar triangles.
 Therefore, we have the following relationship:
 \frac{x}{48} = \frac{5}{8}
 From here, we clear the value of x.
 We have then:
 x = \frac{5}{8} *48
 Rewriting:
 x=30
 Answer:
 
the tree is 30 feet tall
