We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.

We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{Shadow of statue}}=\frac{\text{Height of Wally}}{\text{Shadow of Wally}}$

Upon substituting our given values in above equation, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}$

$\frac{\text{Height of statue}}{\text{164 cm}}\times \text{164 cm}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{\text{41 inch}}\times \text{164 cm}$

$\text{Height of statue}=\frac{\text{68 inch}}{1}\times 4$

$\text{Height of statue}=272\text{ inches}$

Therefore, the height of the statue is 272 inches.

The inequality is given by 20x + 25y ≤ 1100 and x + y > 50

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality is an expression that shows the non equal comparison of two or more numbers and variables.

Let y represent the number of soccer balls and x represent the number of volleyballs.

The coach can spend a maximum of $1,100, hence:

20x + 25y ≤ 1100

Also, The coach plans to order at least 50, hence:

x + y > 50

The inequality is given by 20x + 25y ≤ 1100 and x + y > 50
