in Rolandm Manitoba there is a large pumkin-shaped monument. it is a tribute to Tyler VanWyck for his contributions to the communtiy and the large pumpkin seed grew. T, who is 172cm tall, has his photo taken in front of the monument. In the photo, Ty is 3.5cm tall an dthe monument is 9.2cm tall.


This is a problem in ratios.


Tyler_real : Monument_real = Tyler_photo : Monument_photo


172 cm : Monument_real = 3.5 cm : 9.2 cm


or,


172/Monument_real = 3.5/9.2


Monument_real = 172*(9.2/3.5) = 452.1 cm


In real life the monument is 4m and 52.1 cm tall
