Answer:

22.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 situations are similar triangles

the ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion

let h be the height of the tree , then

[tex]\frac{h}{3.8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7.8}{1.3}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

1.3h = 29.64 ( divide both sides by 1.3 )

h = 22.8 m
