The length of Hayden shadow is 31.875 inches.

Equation

Equation is an expression which is used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let y represent Charlie height and x represent his shadow.

y ∝ x

y = kx

Charlie is 64 inches tall and casts a shadow of 30 inches. Hence:

  • 64 = 30k
  • k = 2.13

y = 2.13x

If Hayden is 68 inches tall, hence:

  • 68 = 2.13x
  • x = 31.875

The length of Hayden shadow is 31.875 inches.
