Ramona wants to find the height of the giraffe statue outside the library.
+152 i believe the two triangles are similar, because of the mirror.
so we can get this ratio. let's have g represent the giraffe's height:
\(\frac{15}{4} = \frac{g}{5}\)
\(75 = 4g\) (cross multiply)
\(g = 18.75 \)
18.75 ~ 19, so our answer is 19 feet.
hope this helped! please let me know if you have any questions :)
