Thank you very much Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 75 inches tall:145 inches shadow ::13 feet: x shadow length (feet)
cross multiply 75x in-feet=1885 in-feet
x=25.13 feet high
If 0.5 inches=5 feet, 1 inch=10 feet
5 inches=50 feet, multiplying both by 10
9 inches=90 feet
The dimensions are 5 x 9 inches
