A woman who is 6-ft tall casts a 4.5-foot shadow at the same time that a building casts a 75-foot shadow. What is the height of the building in feet?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The height of the building is [tex]100\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h ----> the height of the building in feet

we know that

Using proportion

[tex]\frac{6}{4.5}=\frac{h}{75}\\ \\h=6*78/4.5\\ \\h=100\ ft[/tex]

I took the test and got 100 ft correct
