A stick 1 meter long casts a shadow 0.6 meters long. A building casts a shadow 25 meters long. How tall is the building (to 2 decimal places)

Sagot :

ROTRUY

Answer:

41.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent on the stick with shadow:

tan(θ) = [tex]\frac{1}{0.6}[/tex]

Using the tangent on the building:

tan(θ) = [tex]\frac{h}{25}[/tex]

⇒ h = 25 · tan(θ)

       = 25 · [tex]\frac{1}{0.6}[/tex]

⇒ h = 41.66... ≈ 41.67
