Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Height of the building = 50.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A person and a building are casting the shadows at the same time of the day.
Triangles formed by the person and his shadow and the building and its shadow will be similar.
Therefore, corresponding sides of the similar triangles will be proportional.

x = 
x = 50.75
x ≈ 50.8 ft
Solve by elimination.
The goal is to cancel out one of the variables in order to easily solve for the other variable.
Do this by changing the equations so that the coefficients of either x or y add up to 0.
Notice the coefficients of y are 3 and 3, if we make one of them negative then they add up to 0. 3+ (-3) = 0
Multiply 2nd equation by -1.
6x +3y = 9
-2x -3y = -1
__________
4x +0y = 8
Solve for x
4x = 8
x = 8/4 = 2
Plug x=2 back into one of original equations to find y.
---> 2(2) + 3y = 1
---> 4 + 3y = 1
---> 3y = -3
---> y = -1
Therefore solution is (2,-1)
