A tree stands 22 feet tall and is 382 feet from a building. The tree casts a shadow that is 40 feet long. How tall is the building?
I got 211 feet, but I do not think that is correct. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
I set it up like this
h/382=22/40
Thank you!
nope, 382 is not a side of a similar triangle
see my reply to your question when you posted it earlier.
