Question

A shadow 60 meters long is cats by a bell tower that is 32 meters tall. If a clock tower close by casts a shadow 45meters long, how tall is the clock tower

Answer 1

24 meters

Explanation:

We attack this by forming ratios

60:32

45:x

By cross multiplication

60x = 45*32

60x = 1440

x = 1440/60

x = 24 meters
