The school building casts a shadow 16 m long on the plane of the yard, and at the same time, a vertical meter pole casts a shadow 132 cm long. Determine the height of the building.

Correct answer:

h1 =  12.1212 m

Step-by-step explanation:

t1=16 m h2=1 m t2=132 cm m=132:100  m=1.32 m  h1:t1 = h2:t2  h1=h2 t2t1=1 1.3216=12.1212 m
