Answer:

  6.6 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Objects and shadows are considered proportional, so we have ...

  object height / shadow length = gym height / (11.2 yd) = (19.8 yd)/(33.6 yd)

Multiplying by 11.2 yd gives ...

  gym height = (11.2 yd)(19.8)/33.6 = 6.6 yd

The jungle gym is 6.6 yards tall.
