    6.6 yd

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Objects and shadows are considered proportional, so we have ...

    object height / shadow length = gym height / (11.2 yd) = (19.8 yd) / (33.6 yd)

    Multiplying by 11.2 yd gives ...

    gym height = (11.2 yd) (19.8) / 33.6 = 6.6 yd

    The jungle gym is 6.6 yards tall.
