I need help with this problem anyone know any knowhow step by step ideas specially if

Make a diagram to show your work.
Hyung's Height what is it? Leaving the tree to have a shadow of 25m. Hyung's shadow is 1.5 m. Hyung stands next to a tree. Relatively the tree's height is 30m. The tree grows at increments of 2 inches per year and Hyung grows at 13cm each year.
Could you show this problem on a post and send me the link please.:-?
As many different approaches to do this problem if known

I replied to this same question in another forum but I will do so here. Perhaps more people will see it.

Draw a picture! (you say yourself the problem itself asked you "draw a diagram") Draw a horizontal line representing the ground. Draw two vertical lines of different lengths, the longer representing the tree, the shorter repesenting Hyung. Draw darker horizontal lines representing the shadows. Physical fact, since the shadows are cast by the sun, and the sun is at a specific angle in the sky, the two lines from the top of the vertical lines to the end of the shadow are parallel. That means they make the same angle with the ground and give you two similar right triangles- "corresponding lengthsi" are in equal ratios. Two "corresponding sides" are the shadows: the ratio of lengths of shadow is \(\displaystyle \frac{1.5}{25}. That must be equal to the ratios of the heights, which are another pair of "corresponding sides". If we call Hyung's height "x" and the tree's height "h" that ratio is \(\displaystyle \frac{x}{h}\) and so we must have \(\displaystyle \frac{x}{h}= \frac{1.5}{25}\). Multiplying both sides by h, \(\displaystyle x= h\frac{1.5}{25}= \frac{3h}{50}\).

Unless there is more to the problem, the information about the rates of growth, "The tree grows at increments of 2 inches per year and Hyung grows at 13cm each year" is irrelevant.\)
