You can put this solution on YOUR website! let b = length of the building shadow
:
A flagpole that is 40 ft in height casts a shadow that is 25 ft in length.
If a nearby building is 200ft tall, and the sun hits it at the same angle as the tree, what is the length of the building’s shadow
:
ratio of objects to their shadows is the same =
cross multiply
40b = 25 * 200
40b = 5000
b = 5000/40
b = 125 ft is the bldg shadow
