The length of a shadow of a building is 28m . The distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow is 38m. Find the height of the building

The height of the building is 2√165 (m)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can imagine that the distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow is like hypotenuse, the length of a shadow of a building is like squared angle edge

Assume the height of the building is x

According to  Pythagorean theorem:

28^2 + x^2 = 38^2

x^2 = 38^2 - 28^2

x = √(38^2 - 28^2)

x= 2√165 (m)

y=mx+b is the final answer!   : )

the correct answer is the second option
