Question

What is the height of the building ?

Answer 1

The Answer Is 360

Explanation:

Why Because If you Take 45 and 5 it is 9 Then Take 9 and Multiply 9 by 40 which takes you to 360

Answer 2

The height of the building is 360 ft.

Explanation:

Assuming the two given right triangles are similar, their corresponding sides will be the same ratio.

Therefore, the ratio of height to base of the triangles is:

• x : 45 = 40 : 5

To calculate the height of the building, solve the ratio for x.

`\implies x:45=40:5`

`\implies (x)/(45)=(40)/(5)`

`\implies (x)/(45)=8`

`\implies (x)/(45)\cdot 45=8 \cdot 45`

`\implies x=360\; \sf ft`

Therefore, the height of the building is 360 ft.
