You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(height of statue)/(length of statue's shadow) = (height of tent)/(length of tent's shadow)
\n" ); document.write( "(10)/(20) = (x)/(10)
\n" ); document.write( "10/20 = x/10
\n" ); document.write( "1/2 = x/10
\n" ); document.write( "1*10 = 2*x
\n" ); document.write( "10 = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "The tent is 5 feet tall.\r
