The answer should be 12.2
7^2+10^2=c^2
49+100=c^2
149=c^2
12.2=c

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

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.

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