Question

building casts a shadow 23 m long. At the same time, the shadow cast by 37 -cm tall pole is 58 cm long. Find the height of the building

Answer 1

The shadow cast is (58 / 37) longer than the object.Therefore the object's height must be (37 / 58) of the shadow's height.Therefore, the building is 23 * (37 / 58) or 14.6724137931 meters tall.
