Question

A pole that is 2.8 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.01 m long. At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 45.5 m long. How tall is the tower? Round

your answer to the nearest meter.

Answer 1

Answer: 147m

Step-by-step explanation: the tower's height can be calculated using the following equation: height = (shadow length/pole shadow length) * pole height Therefore, the tower's height is: height = (45.5/1.01) * 2.8 height = 146.5 m The tower's height is approximately 147 m, rounded to the nearest meter
