Answer:

169 m

Step-by-step explanation:

See the image below.

Line AB represents the monument and line BC its shadow

Line DB represents the man and Line BE it shadow.

The Sun’s rays are parallel, so AC||DE.

Then ∆ABC ~ ∆DBE

AB:BC::DB:BE

x/65.8 = 1.8/0.7     Multiply both sides by 65.8

       x = 65.6 × 1.8/0.7  

       x = 65.6 × 2.571

       x = 169 m

The height of the Washington monument is 169 m.

This is just a math equation. Just add 12 1/2 to 1 2/5 and remember that the bottoms of fractions have to be the same and if you change the bottoms, you have to change the top just as much :)
