At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.

Therefore, in figure,

\frac{AB}{FD}= \frac{BC}{DE} --- (1)

where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.

From the given information,

BC = 36 feet

FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet

(1) becomes

\frac{AB}{4}= \frac{36}{3}

\frac{AB}{4}= 12

AB = 48

Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.
