Question

At 4:00 pm, the length of the shadow of a tree is 12 m and the length of the shadow of a building
is 24 m. If the height of the tree is 8 m then find the height of the building.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

16m

Step-by-step explanation:

because length of the building is double of the length of the tree so if we multiply 8 by 2: 16m

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the height of the building be x.

ATQ,

12:24::x:8

=> 12×8=24×x

=> 24×x=12×8

=> x = 12×8/24

=> x = 4

Ans) The height of the building is 4m
