Make a ratio: 
<span>
Make sure shadow is in same location on both fractions (either numerator or denominator) </span>

x/90=5/8 

Cross multiply: 

8x=90x5 
8x=450 
<span>
x=56.25 feet </span>

Therefore, the approximate height of the building to the nearest foot would be 56.25 feet.
<span>
That makes sense, too, because the woman's shadow is taller than she is, but is less than double her height. </span>The building shadow is taller than the building, but it's less than double the height of the building.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
