(cell tower)/((45 +3) m) = (2 m)/(3 m)
(cell tower) = (48 m)(2/3) = 32 m

Answer:

B. 32 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can join the top of the cell phone tower to the point B. Similarly, we can join the pole top to the point B.

We will get a two similar triangles.

The ratio of similar triangles are in proportion.

Let's take "x" be height of the cell phone tower.

Cell phone tower          Cell phone tower shadow

-------------------------  =  ------------------------------------

Pole                                    Pole shadow

x/2 = (45 + 3)/3

x/2 = 48/3

x/2 = 16

Multiplying both sides, we get

x = 2*16

x = 32 meters

Therefore, the height of the cell phone tower is 32 meters.

It is B. 32 m

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
