By using shadows, Tatiana wants to find the height of a building. At a certain time of day, her shadow is 2.4 feet long and the building’s shadow is 16 feet long. Her height is 5.8 feet. How tall is the building?

9514 1404 393

  38 2/3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In shadow problems, the usual assumption is that object height and shadow length are proportional.

  height/length = b/16 = 5.8/2.4 . . . . . for building height b

  b = 16(5.8/2.4) = 38 2/3

The building is 38 2/3 feet tall.
