The answer is in the question. If it is a similar shadow wouldn't it be the same?
25 feet

You can solve these word problems using ratios and proportions.

Imagine the side of the building is one side to a triangle and the second would be from the top of the building to the point where the shadow ends and the third is from the base of the building to the point where the shadow ends. Just use the pythagoreon theorem to find stuff. I can't solve the problem you gave because you would need the height of the building

Answer:

j = (h-4) / k

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless there is more information given about this question somewhere else in the assignment, I'm assuming you are being asked to solve this equation for j.

If so, then its just a matter of rearranging the equation so that it is in the form

j = (expression containing other variables)

(h-4) / j = k (multiply both sides by j)

(h-4) = jk (divide both sides by k)

j = (h-4) / k
