Answer:

The ceiling is 3.6576 meters high

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we will follow the steps below;

We can easily use proportion to solve this.

Let x be the height of the ceilings in meters

1 meter = 3.28084 feet

x = 12 feet

cross-multiply

3.28084 x = 12

Divide both-side of the equation by 3.28084

3.28084 x/ 3.28084 = 12/3.28084

(On the left-hand side of the equation 3.28084 at the numerator will cancel-out 3.28084 at the denominator, while on the right-hand side of the equation 12 will be divided by 3.28084)

x ≈ 3.6576 meters

Therefore the ceiling is 3.6576 meters high
