Explanation:

We can use the proportion. We already know

that Dixon is 6 ft tall and that his shadow is 9

ft long. Also we know that the shadow of his

sister is 6 ft long. 6: x = 9:6, or 6 / x=9/6.

After that we will cross multiply : 9 * x = 6 * 6,

9 x = 36, x = 36:9, x = 4. Answer: Ariadne

is 4 feet tall.Hope I helped! :) Cheers!
