Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A billboard is 27 feet high and casts a 36-foot shadow at noon.

Height of billboard = 27 feet

Height of shadow of billboard = 36 feet

\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{27}{36}\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75

A fir tree next to the billboard casts a 48-foot shadow.

Height of shadow of fir tree  = 48 foot

\texttt{Height of shadow of fir tree, H = }\frac{\texttt{Height of billboard}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of billboard}}\times 48

Proportion can be used to find the height = 0.75
