Answer:

165 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using the rule

Shadow of ruler/Length of ruler = Shadow of the girl /Length of the girl

Shadow of ruler = 20cm

Length of ruler = 30cm

Shadow of the girl = 110cm

Length of the girl = x

Hence:

20/30 = 110/x

Cross Multiply

20x = 30 × 110

x = 30 × 110/20

x = 165 cm

Therefore, Sierra(the girl) is 165cm tall
