ANSWER

Emma is 44" tall

EXPLANATION

We have that David cast a shadow 42 inches long and he is 66 inches tall.

At that same place and time, Emma cast a shadow of 28 inches.

Since they are at the same spot and time, we can conclude that the ratio of their height to shadow must be the same.

Let Emma's height be x.

The ratio of David's shadow to height is:

42 : 66 or 42 / 66

For Emma, it is:

28 : x or 28 / x

That means that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{42}{66}\text{ = }\frac{28}{x} \\ \text{Solve for x by cross-multiplying:} \\ 42\cdot\text{ x = 66 }\cdot\text{ 28} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{66\cdot\text{ 28}}{42} \\ x\text{ = 44 inches} \end{gathered}

So, Emma is 44" tall.
