A student who Is 4 feet tall stands beside a tree. The tree has a shadow that is 10 feet long at the same
time that the shadow of the student is 2 feet long. Find the height of the tree.

I’m going to attach a photo because that’s the only way I can explain it.
First, draw out the image that they are describing with triangles to help solve the problem. Then you will see a relationship between the sides. The length of the shadows from the person to the tree’s multiplies by 5. So we can multiply the persons height by 5 as well since they are similar.
