Answer:

112.81 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pole and the tower and their shadows form 2 similar triangles so their corresponding sides are in the smae ratio.

Therefore we have the relation:

1.21 / 48.75 = 2.8 / x   where x is the height of the tower.

Cross multiplying:

x = 2.8 * 48.75 / 1.21

= 112.81 m
