The distance between the flagpole and the building is the number of feet between them
The building is 162 feet from the flagpole
<h3>How to determine the distance</h3>The given parameters are:
- Flagpole = 40 feet
- Building Shadow = 324 feet
The flagpole's shadow is 50% longer than the flagpole.
So, the length (l) of the flagpole's shadow is:
The length of the building's shadow (d) is then calculated as:
Express as fraction
Solve for d
The distance (x) of the building from the flagpole is then calculated as:
Hence, the building is 162 feet from the flagpole
