  • cos x = 18/25 = 0.72
  • cos x = 0.72
  • x = arccos 0.72
  • x = 43.9455° ≈ 44.0° rounded

A building casts a shadow 48 feet long . At the same time a 40 foot tall flag pole casts a shadow 9.6 feet long . What is the fi
tankabanditka [31]
Ratio of height of the flag pole to the length of its shadow = 40:9.6 = 25:6
Ratio of height of the building to the length of its shadow = x:48 = 25:6
x/48 = 25/6
x = (48 x 25)/6 = 1200/6 = 200

Therefore, the height of the building is 200 feet.
