Hakan is standing next to a building whose shadow is 15 feet long. If Hakan is 6 feet tall and is casting a shadow 2.5 feet long, how high is the building?

Height of Building = Feet
answer:

Answer 1

36 feet long

Your gonna have to cross multiply 6 and 15 the keep 2.5 and X like this: 2.5x

After that, it should look like this: 2.5x=90, Now your gonna wanna divide 90 and 2.5 which you will get 36.

X= 36 ft long.
