The relative size monocular cue explains that when two objects are of equal size, the one that appears smaller is farther away. Since Fred is creating a larger retinal image than Ted but they are of equal height, it means that Fred is closer to Frieda, and this is because he appears larger due to the relative size of his retinal image.
