Answer:
20 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we will take,
The distance from top of the building to the tip of the shadow = Hypotenuse = 37 m
The length of shadow of the building = base = 32 m
let, height of the building = perpendicular = p
According to the Pythagoras Theorem,
(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Perpendicular)²
h² = b² + p²
p² = h² - b²
p² = 37² - 32²
p² = 1369 - 1024
p² = 345
p = 18.57
and if we round the solution to nearest tenth it will be 20.
Hence, height of the building is 20 m.
