Answer:

33 inches tall (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a ratio to simplify the situation:

  75 in. tall                 x in. tall

----------------------  =  ---------------------

50 in. shadow       22 in. shadow

Cross multiply:

75 (22) = 50 (x)

1650 = 50x

33 = x

x = 33 in. tall
