Question

Carson is visiting the zoo on a field trip! While at the zoo, he sees a 10 foot tall adult elephant standing next to a 15 foot tall statue that is casting a 18 foot shadow. Carson wants to know the length of the elephant’s shadow. if you have the answer please tell me because im really bad at proportions. thanks
sketch two similar triangles,
one with a height of 15, and a base of 18,
the other with a height of 10 and a base of x
set up a proportion, matching corresponding sides

x/18 = 10/15
x/18 = 2/3

continue
So what’s the answer to this I can’t figure it out either. I have to see the steps and the answer so I can understand how it’s being done.
