Answer:

63m

Step-by-step explanation:

A pool that is 2.9m tall cast a shadow that is 1.76m

At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 38.25m long.

We are to find the height of the building.

If an object of length 2.9m cast an image of 1.76m ,

Then an image of 38.25m willl be cast by an object of what length?

Cross multiplying this gives:

[tex]\frac{38.25 * 2.9}{1.76}[/tex]  = 63.02556818  = 63m (rounded up to nearest meter)
