Given data:

The given scale is 2 cm= 6 ft.

The given height of the tree is h= 7.8 cm.

The given scale can be written as,


\begin{gathered} 2\operatorname{cm}=\text{ 6 ft} \\ 1\text{ cm= 3ft} \end{gathered}

The actual height of the tree is,


\begin{gathered} H=7.8*\text{3 ft} \\ =23.4\text{ ft} \end{gathered}

Thus, the actual height of the tree is 23.4 ft.
