Question

A 32m tall building casts a shadow. The distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow is 34m.

Find the length of the shadow. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

`{34}^(2) - {32}^(2) = {x}^(2) \\ 1156 - 1024 = {x}^(2) \\ 132 = {x}^(2) \\ √(132) = x \\ 2 √(33) = x \\11.5 = x`
