At the same time of day, a woman who is 78 inches tall casts a 63-inch shadow and her son casts a 21-inch shadow. What is the son's height? *

Respuesta :

Answer:

26in

Step-by-step explanation:

The heights of the people in relation to their shadow lengths are proportional.

78in/63in = x/21in

The child's shadow is 1/3 the length of his mom so his height is 1/3 of hers.

78/3 = 26 in
