Answer:

[tex]h_t=9ft[/tex]

Height of child [tex]h_c=3ft[/tex]

Height of child's shadow  [tex]h_c_s=2ft[/tex]

Height of tree's shadow [tex]h_t_s=6ft[/tex]

Since position of Sun remains constant  

Generally the equation for Height of tree h_t mathematically given by

 [tex]h_t=f_{ts}\frac{h_c}{h_c_s}[/tex]

 [tex]h_t=6*\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
