Help me pleaseeeeeeeee

Answer 1

20 m

Explanation:

Here, we will take,

The distance from top of the building to the tip of the shadow = Hypotenuse = 37 m

The length of shadow of the building = base = 32 m

let, height of the building = perpendicular = p

According to the Pythagoras Theorem,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Perpendicular)²

h² = b² + p²

p² = h² - b²

p² = 37² - 32²

p² = 1369 - 1024

p² = 345

p = 18.57

and if we round the solution to nearest tenth it will be 20.

Hence, height of the building is 20 m.
