Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must find how tall the cell phone tower is such that we set up a proportion such that

(4/14) = (x/119)...........Then we cross multiply such that

14x = 4(119)

14x = 476..............Then divide 14 such that

x = 34 feet tall

I hope this helped!
