Similar triangle :

A diagram is attached which describe the statement of question.

From diagram attached below, It is observed that both triangles are similar triangles.

The ratio of corresponding sides are same in the similar triangles.

the distance between the base of the model tree to the edge of the model bench is  x.

                     [tex]\frac{5}{x}=\frac{10}{0.4}\\ \\ 10x=2\\\\x=2/10=0.2yard[/tex]
