Answer:
Height of building is 115.86 m.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is problem of proportion.
a:b = c:d
____________________________________________________________
height of pole = 3.3 m
length of shadow of pole = 1.36 m
ratio
height of pole: length of shadow of pole = 3.3 : 1.36
________________________________________________
let the height of building= x m
length of shadow of building= 47.75 m
ratio
height of building: length of shadow of building= x: 47.75
ratio in both the cases will be same
thus,
x/47.75 = 3.3 / 1.36
=> x = 3.3 / 1.36 * 47.75 = 115.86
Thus, height of building is 115.86 m.
