    We know : A pole is 12 ft and has 4 ft shadow

    Meaning it's 3 times less than original (because 12/4 = 3)

    And it says if a tree has a 20 ft shadow

    Then how high is it actually?

    Meaning 20 (shadow) * 3

    20*3 = 60

    Multiplying since it's about the shadow this time first

    Since 4*5=20ft, as in the length of the tree's shadow, and 12*5=60, the tree is 60 feet tall.
