Answer:

The Answer is: The proportion of height divided by shadow or h/s, which is 6/7 or .857.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ratio of height to shadow length be used:

6 ft tall / 7 ft shadow = x ft tall / 23 ft shadow

Cross multiply:

6 * 23 = x * 7

138 = 7x

x = 138/7 = 19.71 Feet tall.

Proof:

6/7 = .857

19.71 / 23 = .857

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
