A pole that is 3.2m tall casts a shadow that is 1.74 m long. At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 48.25 m long. How tall is the tower? Round your answer to the nearest meter

Answer: 89 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles have sides in proportion.

All sides of the tower's triangle are 48.25/1.74 times as long as the pole's triangle.

The tower is 3.2 * 48.25 / 1.74 = 88.7356321 m

Answer is 89 meters.
