    87 3/11 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The shadows are presumed to be in proportion, so we have ...

    (object height) / (shadow length) = (6 ft) / (11 ft) = (tree height) / (160 ft)

    Multiplying by 160 ft, we find ...

    (tree height) = (6 ft) (160/11)

    (tree height) = 87 3/11 ft
