Final answer:

To calculate the height of the Cristo del Pacífico statue based on shadow lengths, set up a proportion involving the student's and statue's shadows.


Explanation:

To find the height of the Cristo del Pacífico statue, we can set up a proportion based on the shadows cast by the statue and the student. Given that the student is 1.50m tall with a shadow of 51cm and the statue's shadow is 12.58m, the height of the statue can be calculated. Using the proportion: (1.50m / 51cm) = (h / 12.58m), solve for h to find the height of the statue.
