Answer:

35.6 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain tree height :

(Height of stick / shadow of stick = height of tree / shadow of tree)

Height of stick = 2 feets

Shadow of stick = 0.8 feets

Shadow of tree = 14.24 feets

Height of tree = h

(2 / 0.8 = h /14.24)

Cross multiply

0.8h = 14.24 * 2

0.8h = 28.48

h = 28.48 / 0.8

h = 35.6 feets
