Answer:

39 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

take the tree as AB , the distance between the man and the tree as BC, the distance between the man and the tip of the shadow CD and the point intersecting the hypotenuse CE

since CE parallel to AB we can BPT

CE/AB = CD/BD

6/32= CD/48

CD = 9 feet

since CD is feet

BC is 48-9 = 39 feet
