A 8 ft tall baby giraffe standing next to a globe casts a 4 ft shadow. If the globe casts a shadow that is 1 ft long, then how tall is it?

An 8 foot tall baby giraffe's shadow is 4 feet, which is half of 8 feet. That means a shadow of something would be 1/2 of an object's actual height. If the globe's shadow is 1 foot long, which is half of the globe's actual height, you would multiply the globe's shadow by 2. The globe is 2 feet tall.
