    5ft 3in = 63 inches

    8.5 feet = 102 inches

    26ft = 312 inches

    Set up a proportion:

    63 312 inches

    - - = - - -

    102 X

    Solve for x.

    63x = 31,824

    x = 505.1428571428571

    Divide 505.1428571428571 by 12 to see how many ft that is.

    505.1428571428571 / 12 = 42.0952380952381

    It could be 42 ft or could round up to 43ft.

    The length of the tree’s shadow is 42
