The answer is 16 ft because 6 ft tall over 4 feet 6 inches (4.5) is equal to x (tree's height) over 12 ft. You cross multiple and get 72 = 4.5x then you take 72 and divide by 4.5 to get the tree's height

\frac{6}{4.5}  =  \frac{x}{12}

∠2 = ∠3 | Given

∠1 + ∠2 = 180 | Supplementary Angles Postule (If two angles are adjacent and                  ∠3 + ∠4 = 180|                                                        linear, they're supplementary)

∠1 + ∠2 = ∠3 + ∠4 | Transitive property

∠1 + ∠3 = ∠3 + ∠4 | Substitution property

∠1 = ∠4 | Subtraction Property

∠2 = ∠3 | Supplementary Congruent Theorem
