Answer: 97 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw 2 right triangles KLM and ABC.

ML=3.2 m  ( is a pole)  KL =1.29 m( pole's  shadow).

(The triangle KLM is right because we suppose that pole is staying vertically).

In triangle AB is tower's  shadow= 39.25 m and BC is the height og tower=x meters?

Triangles KLM and ABC are similar .

So ML/KL=x/AB

3.2/1.29=x/39.25

x=3.2*39.25/1.29= approx 97.36  meters= 97 meters

Find the value of X.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

x= 60

Step-by-step explanation:

if y is the other missing side

y^2 = 64^2 + 48^2

y^2 = 4,096 + 2,304

y^2 = 6,400

100^2 = x^2 +y^2

x^2 = 10,000 - 6,400

x^2 = 3,600

x = 60
