Answer:
Height of tree = 39.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between the height of an object and the length of it's shadow is directly proportional.
So:
[tex]\frac{4}{2.8} =\frac{h}{27.44}[/tex]
h = Height of tree in feet
Cross multiply
2.8h = 4 · 27.44
Simplify
2.8h = 109.76
÷2.8 both sides
h = 39.2
Height of tree = 39.2 ft
