For this, we are going to be using proportions to solve. But firstly, we have to convert cm to m. For this, I'll be using dimensional analysis:
[tex] \frac{44\ cm}{1}*\frac{0.01\ m}{1\ cm}=\frac{0.44}{1}=0.44\ m [/tex]
[tex] \frac{59\ cm}{1}*\frac{0.01\ m}{1\ cm}=\frac{0.59}{1}=0.59\ m [/tex]
Now that we have everything in meters, we can put it into proportions. In this case, our proportion is [tex] \frac{x}{25} =\frac{0.44}{0.59} [/tex]
Firstly, cross-multiply: [tex] 0.59x=11[/tex]
Next, divide both sides by 0.59, and your answer will be x = 18.6 m, or D.
