A pole that is 3.2m tall casts a shadow that is 1.54m long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 50.75m long. How tall is the building? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

Answer 1

3.2m casts 1.54m shadow.

3.2÷1.54= 160/77 (2.077922077922...)

50.75 × 160/77= 105.454545...

105m to the nearest meter.
