To find: The height of world’s shortest woman.

Answer to Problem 51CR
The height of world’s shortest woman is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The world’s tallest woman casts a shadow of 46 inch and the height of woman is 7 feet 8 inches. The world’s shortest woman casts shadow of 15.5 inch.
Calculation:
Convert the height of world’s tallest woman into inches.
Let height of the world shortestwoman be
Both triangles are similar. By similarity of triangles, their side lengths are proportional.
So, the height of world’s shortest woman can be calculated as:
Therefore, the height of world’s shortest womanis
