Answer: 4 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportion from lawn ornament to its shadow = 6ft : 18ft = 1 : 3
Proportion from baby elephant to its shadow = x : 12ft
These proportions have to be equal, because if it is the same time of day, the different object's shadows will have the same proportions.
In order to solve this problem, we need to cross multiply. (Attached image)
So, 3x = 12.
By solving this equation, we find that x = 4
The height of the baby elephant is 4 feet.
