To measure the height of the Washington Monument, a student 5.5 ft tall measures his shadow to be 4.25 ft. At the same time of day, he measured the shadow of the Washington Monument to be 430 ft
long. Use a calculator to estimate the height of the monument to the nearest foot.
The Washington Monument is approximately ________ft tall?

Answer:

OK, Well to solve this first,

Set up a ratio:

height of the student/student shadow length = height of the monument/monument shadow length

height of the monument = x

6ft./4.75ft =  x/435ft.

cross multtiply

6 * 435 = 4.75x

2610 = 4.75x

divide by 4.75 to both sides

2610/4.75 = 4.75x/4.75

549.47 = x
