    So this is ratios

    actual height to shadow height=10 to 18=10:18=10/18=5/9

    ratio is 5:9

    if the shadow height=12 then find actual height

    x:12=5:9 since they should be in the same ratio

    x/12=5/9

    multiply both sides by 12

    x=60/9

    x=6 and 6/9

    x=6 and 2/3

    height of person is 6 and 2/3 foot or 6.66ft or 6ft and 8 inches
