if we have two similar triangles:
Triangle 1 (base 1 , height1).
Triangle 2 (base 2, height 2)
Then:

base 1 /height 1=base 2 /height 2

Data:
base 1=0.2 m
height 1= 1 m
base 2= 8 m
height 2=x

We calculate the height of the tower:
base 1 /height 1=base 2 /height 2
0.2 m / 1m=8 m / x
x=(8 m * 1 m) / 0.2 m
x=8 m²/0.2 m
x=40 m

Answer. the heigth of the tower will 40 m
