Trenton Buchanan · Answer 1

H^2=x^2+y^2

35^2=29^2+y^2

y^2=35^2-29^2

y^2=384

y=√384

y≈19.60 m (to the nearest hundredth of a meter, or nearest centimeter)

The length of a shadow of a building is29 m. The distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow is35 m. Find the height of the building
