Answer:

Height of tree = 100 m

Explanation:

From the figure we can see a two similar triangles.

Points to remember

The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

To find the height of tree

Let 'h' be the height of tree, then we can write,

Height of girl = 150 cm = 1.5 m

3/(3 + 17) = 1.5/h

3/20 = 1.5/h

h = (1.5 * 20)/3

= 10 m

Therefore the height of tree = 10 m
