has the same proportions as the Statue of Liberty, about how tall is Rebecca?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • 66.025 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

  • The Statue of Liberty ≅ Rebecca

We need to convert feet to inches first.

  • => 1 feet = 12 inches
  • => 151 feet = 1812
  • => 16 feet = 192

Let's name Rebecca's length as x.

Solving in ratio form:

  • 1812:192::x:7

We need to multiply the extreme terms and the middle terms together.

  • 12684 = 192x

Now, simplify.

  • 12684 = 192x
  • => x = 12684/192
  • => x = 66.0625 in.

Hence, the height of Rebecca is 66.025 in.
