HELP PLEASE!!! ASAP!!!

If a 14 ft. tall adult
giraffe casts a 7 ft. long
shadow, then how tall is a
cardboard box that casts a
4 ft. shadow?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 feet.

Explanation:

we can see by the first example that the shadow is 1/2 of the height of the original object. so, we just double the height of the shadow to determine the height of the object.
