Answer:

The shadow of 24 ft tree is 28.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

As

Shadow of 15 ft tree is 18 ft

so

Let shadow of 24 ft tree be S

We can set up a proportion comparing the height of each object to the length of the shadow.

$\frac{15}{18} = \frac{24}{S}$

$15 S = 24\times 18\\S = \frac{432}{15} \\S= 28.8$

The shadow of 24 ft tree is 28.8 ft
