Question

Because of a bizarre shrink-ray experiment gone wrong, you are 11 meters tall and have a shadow that is 19 meters long. A nearby building has a shadow that measures 76 meters long. What is the height of the building in meters?

Answer 1

We have the next information

11 m tall --- shadow 19 m long

In the case of the building

x m height -- shadow 76 m long

Therefore we will do the next operation

`\frac{76*\text{11}}{19}=44m`

The height of the building is 44 m

ANSWER

The height of the building is 44 m
