Answer: <u><em>The building is 35 meters tall.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>420 </em><u><em>divided by </em></u><em>24 is 17.5   </em>

<em>17.5 </em><u><em>x </em></u><em>2 is 35 </em>

<em>(im multiplying by two because it says that a person who is 2 meters tall casts a shadow that is 24 meters long. ***)</em>
