A pole that is  3.4m

 tall casts a shadow that is  1.03m  long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is  41.5m long. How tall is the building?

I got that the building is 136.9902912...(nonterminating) meters tall. Or you could round that to 137m tall. I got that by setting up ratios of the height and the shadows, then cross multiplying.
