EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Giraffe tall = 15ft

Shadow = 3 ft

Woman shadow = 1 ft

Woman tall = ?

Now, applying the proportional relationship, this will give us:

[tex]\frac{\text{Adult tall long}}{\text{long shadow}}=\frac{x}{\text{Woman shadow}}[/tex][tex]\frac{15}{3}=\frac{x}{1}[/tex]

Clearing x:

x= 15/3

[ANSWER] is 5 ft for a woman tall.
