The missing height value in feet for 330 days is 918 feet. Calculated using the given ratio of yards to feet (9 yards: 27 feet) and applied to the known height in yards (306).

To find the missing value for the height in feet when the days are 330:

Use the given ratio of yards to feet for the known values:
\(9 \, \text{yards} : 27 \, \text{feet}\).

Apply the same ratio to the unknown value:


\[ 306 \, \text{yards} : x \, \text{feet} \]

Set up a proportion to solve for x:


\[ (9)/(27) = (306)/(x) \]

Cross-multiply:


\[ 9x = 27 * 306 \]

Solve for x:


\[ x = (27 * 306)/(9) \]

x = 918

Therefore, the missing value for the height in feet when the days are 330 is 918 feet.
