1 foot = 12 inches
Height of Jacob = 5 feet 6 inches = 5 *12 + 6 = 66 inches
Jacob's <span>shadow = 3 feet = 36 inches

</span>giraffe's shadow = <span>5 feet 9 inches = 5 * 12 + 9 = 69 inches

</span><span>by the ratio and proportion

∴ </span>Height of Jacob/Jacob's shadow = Height of giraffe/giraffe's shadow

∴ 66/36 = Height of giraffe/69

∴ Height of giraffe = 69 * 66/36 = 126.5 inches = 10 feet 6.5 inches
