Question

Hello!!

I am kinda stuck on a question And I have been trying to figure it out for some time now!

But i am still stuck Here is the question!!

A pole that is 2.7m

 tall casts a shadow that is 1.07m

 long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 47.5m

 long. How tall is the building? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

Answer 1

ratios of height to shadows are the same

2.7/1.07 = H/47.5 where H= height of the building

cross multiply

1.07H =47.5(2.7) = 128.25

H = 128.25/1.07 = 119.9 = 120 meters rounded to nearest meter
