Answer:
The taller person's waist size is 43.2 inches
Solution:
As given in the question, if 2 people are equal in proportion, then the taller person has 20% taller or larger waist than the smaller person in any given dimension. This means that, the taller person’s waist would be 120 % of the smaller person.
Hence, we multiply 1.2 (120%) with 36 inches (waist size of shorter person) which gives the waist size of the taller person as 43.2 inches.
36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.
