Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion of the height to a shadow using x as the unknown height of the truck. convert the 3ft child to inches.

36/10 = x/38

cross multiply and set equal, then solve for x

10x = 36x38

10x = 1368

divide by 10

x = 136.8 in

convert back to feet by dividing by 12

x = 11.4 ft
