Stones are thrown horizontally, with the same initial velocity, from the tops of two different buildings, a and b. the stone from building a lands 4 times as far from the base of the building as does the stone from building b. what is the ratio of building a's height to building b's height?

Our required ratio would be 4:1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let the distance at which the stone lands from building B be 'x'.

Let the distance at which the stone lands from building A be '4x'.

So, we need to find the ratio of building A's height to building B's height.

As we know that

Ratio of distance at which stone lands from building B : Ratio of distance at which stone from building A = Ratio of height of building A to Ratio of height of building B.

So, Ratio of height of building A to Ratio of height of building B is given by

Hence, our required ratio would be 4:1.
