Question

A pole that is 2.7 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.29 m long. At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 50.5 m long. How tall is the tower? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

Answer 1

Answer: 106 meters

Explanation:

2.7/1.29=x/50.5

cross multiply

1.29x=(2.7)(50.5)

1.29x=136.35

x=136.35/1.29

x=105.697674419

x=106 meters
