  We present results from a well studied delta Scuti star discovered in the
LMC. The absolute magnitude of the variable was determined from the PL relation
for Galactic delta Scuti stars and from the theoretical modeling of the
observed B,V,I light curves. The two methods give distance moduli for the LMC
of 18.46+-0.19 and 18.48+-0.15, respectively, for a consistent value of the
stellar reddening of E(B-V)=0.08+-0.02. We have also analyzed 24 delta Scuti
candidates discovered in the OGLE II survey of the LMC, and 7 variables
identified in the open cluster LW 55 and in the galaxy disk by Kaluzny et al.
(2003, 2006). We find that the LMC delta Scuti stars define a PL relation whose
slope is very similar to that defined by the Galactic delta Scuti variables,
and yield a distance modulus for the LMC of 18.50+-0.22 mag. We compare the
results obtained from the delta Scuti variables with those derived from the LMC
RR Lyrae stars and Cepheids. Within the observational uncertainties, the three
groups of pulsating stars yield very similar distance moduli. These moduli are
all consistent with the "long" astronomical distance scale for the Large
Magellanic Cloud.
