Question

A pole that is 2.6 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.26 m long. At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 37.25 m long. How tall is the tower?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The ratio of height to shadow length will be proportional.

2.6 / 1.26 = h / 37.25

h = 37.25(2.6)/1.26 = 76.865079...

h = 76.9 m
