20' high : 30' shadow
? high : 7.5' shadow
This is a problem of direct proportions, the taller the object, the longer the shadow.
Keira's height can be found by cross multiplication,
H = 20*7.5/30 = 5 feet.
Also, please refrain from double posting the same problem within a short time. Allow some time for tutors to look at the problem.
