The equation you can use to solve the problem is;

50/30 = 300/x

Next Cross Multiply

50x = 9000

x = 9000/50

x = 180

The building's shadow is 180 feet tall

a: 3

b. 6973568802

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = 6 , r = 3 , a₂₀ =?

Result:

a₂₀ = 6973568802

Explanation:

To find a₂₀ we use the formula

aₙ = a₁ · r ^ⁿ⁻¹

In this example we have a₁ = 6 , r = 3 , n = 20. After substituting these values to above

formula, we obtain:

aₙ = a₁ · r ^ⁿ⁻¹

a₂₀ = 6 · 3 ^²⁰⁻¹

a₂₀ = 6 · 1162261467

a₂₀ = 6973568802
