We can set up a proportion to solve this problem. Let x be the height of the tree.
Since the alien's height is 5 feet and its shadow is 8 feet long, we have:
Alien's height/alien's shadow = tree's height/tree's shadow
5/8 = x/32
Cross-multiplying, we have:
8x = 5 * 32
8x = 160
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
x = 20
Therefore, the height of the tree is 20 feet.
