Sagot :

Answer:

448

Step-by-step explanation:

This is  a proportion question. Keep the heights on one side of the proportion and the shadow length on the other.

height ratio  shadow ratio

40 cm / x = 25 / 280             Cross multiply

25x = 40 * 280                      Combine

25x = 11200                            Divide by 25

x = 11200/25

x = 448 cm

The height of the corn plant is 448 cm
