The building is 300/50 = 6 times as high as the flagpole, so we expect its shadow to be 6 times as long: 6×30 ft = 180 ft.

Answer with explanation:

Length of Flagpole =50 foot

Height of Building =300 feet

Length of shadow of Flagpole =30 feet

Let shadow of building = x feet

The shadow of building as well as Flagpole are taken at the same time .So they are proportional to each other.

\frac{\text{Height of Building}}{\text{Length of Flagpole}}=\frac{\text{Height of Shadow of Building}}{\text{Length of Shadow of Flagpole}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{300}{50}=\frac{x}{30}\\\\\rightarrow x=30 \times 6\\\\\rightarrow x=180

So, Building's Shadow =180 feet
