The tower is 61.65 meters tall.
<u>SOLUTION:
</u>
Given that, a pole that is 2.5 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.47 m long.
At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 36.25 m long.
We have to find height of the tower.
Now, we know that,
Then, (let it be) n meter tall 
36.25 long shadow
So, by cross multiplication method,
This can be written as,
Cross multiplications steps: (To find Single Variable)
- Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction.
- Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction.
- Set the two products equal to each other.
- Solve for the variable.
Answer:
1.860 to 4sf
Step-by-step explanation:
First keep in mind that the given value is negative and that it is
greater than or
equal to whatever '<em>v</em>' is.
When solving for a variable in any equation, you do something to both sides in order to keep it equal. Here, <em>v</em> is being subtracted by 1.9; therefore we can
add 1.9 to both sides in order to isolate <em />the variable.
Despite not needing a value for the question, it is worth noting that since this is an inequality, <em>v </em>can be any value from -6.4 to ∞ in order to make it true.
0.31 rounded to the nearest tenth would be 0.3
