Answer:

1249. 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pole length , Pl = 2 fts

Pole shadow, Ps = 20 in = (0.0833 * 20) = 1.666 ft

Tower length, Tl = 125 ft

Tower shadow, Ts = x

Pl / Ps = Tl/ Ts

2/ 1.666 = 125 / x

Cross multiply

2x = 125 * 1.666

2x = 208.25

x = 104.125 ft

x = 104.125 * 12 = 1249. 5 inches

By applying the law of sines.

\frac{GH}{sin \ J} =  \frac{GJ}{sin \ H}

Given:
<span>GJ = 10 , ∠J =45° , ∠H = 31°

∴ </span><span>\frac{GH}{sin \ 45} =  \frac{10}{sin \ 31}

∴ GH = 10 * sin 45° / sin 31° ≈ 13.7 m
