girl 5 feet case a shadow of 61/2 ft at the same time a statue shadow 12 feet how tall is the statue
5/6.5 = x/12
Solve for x.
To find the height of the statue, we can use the concept of proportions.
Let's define the height of the girl as "h" and the height of the statue as "x".
We can set up a proportion based on the information given:
(height of girl) / (length of girl's shadow) = (height of statue) / (length of statue's shadow)
Substituting the given values:
5 ft / 6.5 ft = x / 12 ft
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
5 ft * 12 ft = 6.5 ft * x
60 ft = 6.5 ft * x
Divide both sides of the equation by 6.5 ft to isolate x:
60 ft / 6.5 ft = x
Thus, the height of the statue is approximately 9.23 feet.
