You are standing on the beach. You see the large waves and wonder how high the waves are. You pick up a stick and sight a wave, from its
base to its height. You determine that the stick is 8 inches. You know the stick is 20 inches from your eye. You estimate that you are
standing 35 feet from the base of the wave. How high is the wave?
you get this by first getting the feet into inches 35 x 12 = 420 then divide by 20 to get how much bigger it is 420/20= 21 then multiply by 8 to get the height 168
