Answer:

The height of the building is 30\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x--------> the height of the building

y------> the long of the shadow of the building

m----> the height of Will

n-----> the long of the shadow of Will

we know that

By proportion

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{m}{n}

we have

y=18\ ft

m=5\ ft

n=3\ ft

substitute the values

\frac{x}{18}=\frac{5}{3}

3*x=18*5

x=30\ ft
