The distance between the lions and the monkeys is; 64 ft

How to calculate distance using similar Triangles?

From the given diagram, we see two triangles;

Triangle one formed by Zebras, Monkeys, lions.

Triangle two formed by tigers, elephants, lions

Now, from the given triangles we can see that they are similar and using the given dimensions, we can use proportion to find distance between the lions and the monkeys as;

52/78 = x/96

where x is the unknown distance we are looking for

We cross multiply to get;

4992 = 78x

Divide both sides by 78 to get;

x = 64 ft
