Thank you for posting your question here at . I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
Change 5'9" to 5.75 ft; let t = height of the tree
You can use ratio here (corresponding sides of similar triangles):
5 x 75/ 5 = t/165
cross multiply
5t = 5.75*165
5t = 948.75
t =Β 948.75/ 5
t = 189.75 ft or 189 ft 9 inches
