Question 1131725: Use a proportion to set up and solve the following problem. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
A 15.6 ft tall adult giraffe standing next to
a statue casts a 62.4 ft shadow. If the
statue casts a shadow that is 43.2 ft long, then how tall is it? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 15.6 is 1/4 of 62.4
so the statue is 1/4 as high as the shadow is long
1/4 of 43.2 is 10.8 feet.
