12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The assumption regarding shadow lengths is that they are proportional to height at any given place and time.

__

Here, the streetlamp is 9/6 = 3/2 times as tall as the tree, so we expect its shadow to be 3/2 times the length of the tree's shadow.

(3/2)(8 m) = 12 m

The streetlamp's shadow is 12 meters long.
