Answer: 9.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a proportion using the diagram and the information given.

      [tex]\displaystyle \frac{h}{8} =\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

Next, we will cross-multiply.

      h * 5 = 8 * 6

      5h = 48

Divide both sides of the equation by 5.

      h = 9.6 feet
