Question 1120692: Will someone please help me with this problem. I've submitted it before, but the answer is not one of the choices.
Airman Martin stands beside a C-130 on the runway at an Air Force base. Airman Martin is 6 feet 3 inches tall and his shadow is 2 feet 1 inch long. The shadow of the plane is 13 feet long. What is the height of the plane?

Thank you

The airman is 75 inches tall and his shadow is 25 inches long, so the ratio of the sides of the triangle is 3 to 1. Hence, the aircraft is 3 times taller than the shadow is long. 39 feet.
