Answer:

20 feet tall

Explanation:

Let's say the height of the taller road sign=x. To solve for x, set the height and length of the signs equal to one another:


(height)/(length) =(height)/(length)

Plug the numbers in:


(12 ft)/(15 ft) =(x)/(25 ft)

Cross-multiply to get 300 = 15x, then divide both sides by 15 to isolate x.

x = 20 feet
