Use similar triangles to solve. A person who is 5 feet tall is standing 117 feet from the base of a​ tree, and the tree casts a 130 foot shadow. The​ person's shadow is 13 feet in length. What is the height of the​ tree?

Draw the diagram. This is exactly like "Isel's" problem.
h/130 = 5/13
Answered by Hanan
Add 117+13 giving you 130
130/13 = X/3 cross multiply
130*5= 13x
650=13x
x=50
height of the tree is 50 ft
