Given :

12 foot tall street light is making a 18 foot shadow at the same time a nearby building is making a 72 feet shadow.

To Find :

How tall is the building.

Solution :

Since, the time period is same so the angle angle of elevation is equal i.e the ratio of height of building is equal to height of shadow.

Let, height of building is h feet.

So,

\dfrac{12}{18}=\dfrac{x}{72}\\\\x=\dfrac{72\times 12}{18}\\\\x= 48\ feet

Therefore, height of building is 48 feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Yuri [45]

Answer: B or D

Step-by-step explanation:

Karens ration is 5:15 whilst chens is 6:19

1/3 of 15 is gonna be 5, while 19 is gonna be around 6.3

I got 1/3 cause there is 3 colors, and red is one of them, since the question is asking about the total. I would be leaning more towards B though.
