Approximately 25381
The observer sees the tops of two trees at the same angle a. It is 9 m from one tree and 21 m from the other.
The trees stand on a level. How tall is the second tree if the height of the first is 6 m? Remember that the eyes of a standing person are approximately 1.5 m above the ground.
