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?

Respuesta :

is that all of the information

Answer:

35 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that you would solve it like this:

[tex]\frac{2}{24}[/tex] because a 2 meter man casts a 24 meter shadow, then [tex]\frac{x}{420}[/tex] would represent the tower. So cross multiply and cancel and you get 35 meters.
