6\9 to the simplest fraction is
2\3
<span>We let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangle. Then,
Perimeter = 2x + 2y
100 = 2x + 2y
50 = x + y
y = 50 - x
Area = xy
A = x(50 - x)
A = 50x - x^2
We then take the derivative; set it equal to zero:
A ' = 50 - 2x
0 = 50 - 2x
2x = 50
x = 25
y = 50 - x
y = 50 - 25
y = 25
Therefore, the dimensions are 25 and 25.</span>

It appears that the Pythagorean theorem can be applied to this problem
(distance to shadow)² = (height of building)² + (length of shadow)²
(38 m)² = (height of building)² + (28 m)²
660 m² = (height of building)²
Then the height of the building is
height of building = √660 m ≈ 25.7 m
