Answer:

36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of the building,

Given,

Length of the building's shadow = 24 ft,

Height of the person = 6 feet,

Length of person's shadow = 4 feet.

Since, at the same time,

\frac{\text{Height of the building}}{\text{Length of building's shadow}}=\frac{\text{Height of the person}}{\text{Length of person's shadow}}

\frac{x}{24}=\frac{6}{4}

4x=144   ( By cross multiplication )

\implies x = 36

Hence, the height of the building is 36 ft.
