Question

Answer 1

36 ft

Explanation:

Daniela facing a 12 ft tall statue that is 15 ft away. She can see the reflection of the top of the statue in a puddle on the ground 5 ft in front of her. How tall is Daniela?

Hence, this is calculated as:

5ft/15ft = 12 ft/Daniela's height

Cross Multiply

5ft × Daniela's height = 15ft × 12ft

Daniela's height = 15ft × 12 ft/5ft

= 36ft

Therefore, Daniela's height = 36 ft
