You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(Height of building)/(Length of building's shadow) = (Height of pole)/(Length of pole's shadow)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x/232 = 4/16\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x/232 = 1/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 232*(1/4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 232/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 58\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the building is 58 meters tall.\r
