Use the property of similarity of triangles =》the corresponding sides of a triangle should be in the same ratio.

Take the missing side as 'x'.

The corresponding sides here are,

■ 7 & 14 ft

■ 5 & x ft

7/14 = 5/x

7x = 5 × 14 (cross multiplication)

7x = 70

x = 70/7

x = 10 ft

Height of the tree = 10 ft.

Hope it helps ⚜
