    Length (Tallness) of tree = 27 m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Pole length = 9 m

    Pole shadow = 12 m

    Pole Shadow : Length Ratio = 12 : 9 = 4 : 3

    Tree shadow = 36 m

    As per 'Shadow : Length' ratio = 4 : 3

    36 : L = 4 : 3

    Reciprocal, L : 36 = 3 : 4

    L / 36 = 3 / 4

    L = (36 x 3) / 4 = 108 / 4

    Tree length = 27 m
