Set up a proportion:

6 feet over 11 feet long equals x feet over 33 feet long

6/11 = x/33

198 = 11x

x = 18

The height of the tree is 18 feet tall

The height of the tree will be 18 feet.

A ratio is an ordered set of integers a and b expressed as a/b, with b never equaling 0. A proportional is a mathematical expression in which two things are equal.

A man who is 6 feet tall casts a shadow that is 11 feet long.

At the same time, a tree casts a shadow that is 33 feet long.

Then the height of the tree will be

Let x be the height of the tree.

Then we have

x / 6 = 33 / 11

    x = 3 x 6

    x = 18 feet
