Using proportions, considering the relation between the height and the shadow, it is found that the cell phone tower is 50 feet.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

When the shadow is of 8 feet, the height is of 10 feet. What is the height when the shadow is of 40 feet? The<em> rule of three</em> is:

8 feet - 10 feet

40 feet - h feet

Applying cross multiplication:

8h = 10 x 40

Simplifying by 8:

h = 10 x 5 = 50 feet.
