We can set up a proportion to solve this problem. Let x be the height of the statue in the picture.
Using the information given, we can set up the following proportion:
(5.75 ft / 13 ft) = (3 cm / x)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
5.75 ft * x = 13 ft * 3 cm
5.75 ft * x = 39 ft * cm
Dividing both sides by 5.75 ft:
x = (39 ft * cm) / 5.75 ft
x ≈ 6.78 cm
Therefore, the height of the statue in the picture is approximately 6.78 cm.
