Step 1
At 1:30 pm
Monument's shadow= 22.5 feet
Calvin's shadow =3.5 feet
Calvin is 6.25 feet tall
a) for the monument
shadow= adjacent side=22.5 ft
hypotenuse= unknow=h1
height of the monument = opposite side= y1
b) for Calvin
shadow= adjacent side=3.5 ft
hypotenuse= unknow=h2
height of the Calvin = opposite side= 6.25
Step 2
those triangles are similar, so the ratio between the shadow and the height must be constant, so
