What are the dimensions of the building?
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
Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -4/3
(0,-12)....x1 = 0 and y1 = -12
sub
y - (-12) = -4/3(x - 0) =
y + 12 = -4/3(x - 0) <=== point slope form
y + 12 = -4/3x
y = -4/3x - 12 <=== slope intercept form
y = -4/3x - 12
4/3x + y = -12
4x + 3y = -36 <=== standard form
