Answer:

15m

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! first to solve this problem we must find that so much that the tree grew in the 15 years this is achieved by dividing the height of the tree before and after

the tree grew 10 times its initial length in 15 years, so to find how tall the nail is, we multiply this factor by 1.5m

X=(1.5m)(10)=15m

the nail is 15 meters above ground level
