Answer:

14.4 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Hypothenus = 36 m

Height of building (H) = 33 m

Length of shadow (L) =?

The length of the shadow can be obtained as follow:

Hypothenus² = H² + L²

36² = 33² + L²

1296 = 1089 + L²

Collect like terms

1296 – 1089 = L²

207 = L²

Take the square root of both side

L = √207

L = 14.4 m

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 14.4 m
