a pole that is 2.9 M tall casts a shadow that is 1.56 M long at the same time a nearby Tower casts a shadow that is 40.25 meters long how tall is the tower round your answer to the nearest meter​

Respuesta :

Answer:

h = 74.823 m

Explanation:

given data

pole  tall = 2.9 M

shadow  long =  1.56 M

Tower shadow = 40.25 meters

solution

we get here tower height that is h

so as per given image below

we could see two similar triangles.

Similar triangles have sides proportional

tan θ = [tex]\frac{2.9}{1.56} = \frac{h}{40.25}[/tex]    

h = 74.823 m
