Answer:
The building is 187.5 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
A nearby person is 6 feet tall, and casts a shadow that is 8 feet long.
This means that the relation between the real height and the shadow is given by:
[tex]\frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
A tall building casts a shadow that is 250 feet long. How tall is the building?*
The real height is three fourths of the shadow. So
[tex]\frac{3}{4}*250 = 187.5[/tex]
The building is 187.5 feet tall.
