30 ft

Ratio is

Times that by the shadow

1.5 x 20 = 30

Brian and shadow to Z point math hypotenuse of a right triangle . Tree and shadow to the right-angled triangle hypotenuse well . Shadow length depends on the angle of incidence of solar prmieni . The angle of Padania , in both cases the same joke . So tangents hypotenuse same joke .

tg = a/b
Brian
a/b = 6ft/4ft = 1,5

A tree
a/b = a/20ft

a/20ff = 3/2 We multiply the cross

2a = 60ft
a = 30tf

Answer :
The tree is 30 feet
