The problem presented above is an example in which we can use the concept of ratio and proportion. The ratio between the heights of Mei and the statue should be the same to the ratio of their shadows. Letting x be the height of the statue. 
                                  5 ft/ x ft = 3 ft / 10.5 ft
The value of x from the equation above is 17.5 ft.

Natalka [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

We will learn how to solve proportion problems. We know, the first term (1st) and the fourth term (4th) of a proportion are called extreme terms or extremes, and the second term (2nd) and the third term (3rd) are called middle terms or means.

Therefore, in a proportion, product of extremes  = product of middle terms

example

1. Check whether the two ratios form a proportion or not:

(i) 6 : 8 and 12 : 16;                           (ii) 24 : 28 and 36 : 48

Solution:

(i) 6 : 8 and 12 : 16

6 : 8 = 6/8 = 3/4

12 : 16 = 12/16 = 3/4

Thus, the ratios 6 : 8 and 12 : 16 are equal.

Therefore, they form a proportion.
