Question

A building casts a shadow that is 420 meters long. At the same time, a person who is 2 meters tall casts a shadow that is 24 meters long. How tall is the building?

Answer 1

is that all of the information

Answer 2

35 meters

Explanation:

I think that you would solve it like this:

`(2)/(24)` because a 2 meter man casts a 24 meter shadow, then
`(x)/(420)` would represent the tower. So cross multiply and cancel and you get 35 meters.
