A tree makes a shadow that is 14 ft long. Rachel is 6 ft tall. When she is standing near the tree, her shadow is 3.5 ft long. Which statement BEST explains why Rachel can use a proportion to estimate the length of the tree?

the answer is 24 , because 14 ft times 6ft equals 84 and 84 divided by 3.5 is 24. This expression isbest used as a proportion because all variables cross multiply with each other
