Answer:

OK, Well to solve this first,

Set up a ratio:

height of the student/student shadow length = height of the monument/monument shadow length

height of the monument = x

6ft./4.75ft =  x/435ft.

cross multtiply

6 * 435 = 4.75x

2610 = 4.75x

divide by 4.75 to both sides

2610/4.75 = 4.75x/4.75

549.47 = x
