This is congruent triangle proofs and I'm completely lost on how to figure it out so I was hoping you could help me with that.

Answer: 11.1 m
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved by the Pythagorean theorem where;
c² = a² + b²
c is the hypotenuse which is the distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow.
a is the height
c is the length
32² = 30² + b²
b² = 32² - 30²
b² = 1,024 - 900
b² = 124
b = √124
b = 11.1 m
Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Similarities.
Since here, first figure is a Triangle, hence similarity of a triangle is given by ratio of it sides and make them equate,
hence for,
1.) 16/12 = x/9 ===> 4/3 = x/9 ===> x = 9*4/3 ==> x = 36/3
hence the value of x is 12 , ===> x = 12 .
2.) here,in the case of a Reactangle the relation is such that, length = 2* breadth,
hence we apply the relation,
x = 2*4.5 ===> x = 9 units.
