The tree (and any other solid object) blocks the path of the sunlight, because sunlight can not pass through, or go around an object(unless the object is trnsparent.
When light travels from a denser medium to less dense medium how is it possible in case of a mirrage?
The air just close to the surface of hot earth will be less dense where as the air well above will be comparatively cooler and more dense. As light from a tree top travels towards the surface has to go right from denser to rarer and so total internal reflection takes place and reaches the observer as if the image of the tree top is seen on the surface of the earth. This is mirage.

Why does a shadow form behind an opaque object?
Light from the sun (or any other source) travels in particles, which strike objects and are often partially absorbed. A shadow forms behind a tree because when the particles hit the tree, they are absorbed and reflected, so that everything on the other side of the tree, where the light would have gone, receives no light. However, some light will bounce off of other objects and go behind the tree in the other particles' place. Since this other light will already have been partially absorbed, it will be more dim than direct light. Because of this, we are able to see in the shadow, but since the light there is not as strong, it is darker. This darker region behind the tree, is the shadow.
A tree is twice as high as the length of the shadow it casts The distance from the tip of tree to the tip of the shadow is 8 feet What is the length of the shadow that the tree casts?
We can not tell because we do not know how straight the tree is or if the ground is perpendicular or level.
When a tree cast a 20 foot shadow a man 6 feet tall casts a 3 foot shadow how tall is the tree?
The man is twice as high as his shadow. Therefore, the tree must also be twice as high as its shadow, which would make the tree 40 feet tall.
