Apole 3 m high has a shadow 5 m long when the shadow of a nearby building is 110 m long. how tall is the building?

which of the following proportions could be used to solve the problem?

3/110 = x/5
3/x = 110/5
x/3 = 110/5

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original height of building.

We have been given that a 3 meter pole has a shadow 5 m long. The shadow of a nearby building is 110 m long.

To find the original height of building we will use proportions as proportion states that two fractions are equal.

So we can set a proportion using our given information.

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

Therefore, the equation could be used to find the actual height of building.

the answer for this question is 38
