The ratio of the young man's height to his shadow is 150:200 or 3:4
The ratio for the father is the same. His shadow is 240 cm so his actual height is 240*3/4 = 180 cm

Thomas happened to notice that at 400 PM on his uncle's farm a fence post that was 5 feet tall cast a 3 foot shadow He also noticed that a nearby tree cast a 12 foot shadow How tall is the tree?
I think this question is about similar shapes. To answer this divide the height of the tree, 5ft, by the shadow cast by it, 3 ft. This will give you the scale factor. To then find the answer, times the scale factor by the shawdow cast by the nearby tree, and will find your answer in ft. Hope this helped.
