A vertical stick 22 m tall casts a shadow 1.51.5 m long on level ground. At the same moment, a tree stands on the same level ground 1212 m from a vertical wall, on the side away from the sun. The tree's shadow reaches all the way across the ground to the wall and then runs 33 m up the wall. How tall is the tree, in metres?
