A pole that is 3.3 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.4 m long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 47.5 m long. How tall is the building? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to draw a diagram, you could form two similar triangles using the pole and the building (unsolvable otherwise). Since these triangles are similar, we can write the following proportion:

, where is the height of the building.

Solving, we get:

(rounded to the nearest meter as requested in the problem).

I've drawn the figure below for reference:

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.

step-by-step explanation: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
