Step-by-step explanation:
Height of shadow of basketball hoop = 109 inches
Height of person = 5 foot 8 inches = 68 inches
Height of shadow of person = 62 inches
[tex]\frac{\texttt{Height of person}}{\texttt{Height shadow of person}}=\frac{68}{62}=\frac{34}{31}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\texttt{Height of basketball hoop}}{\texttt{Height of shadow of basketball hoop}}=\frac{34}{31}\\\\\frac{\texttt{Height of basketball hoop}}{109}=\frac{34}{31}\\\\\texttt{Height of basketball hoop}=119.55inches=120inches[/tex]
Height of the basketball hoop = 120 inches
