    So assuming that the ratios are the same

    height to shadow=h:s=3.5:1.75

    also

    h:46.75

    these mus be equal

    3.5:1.75=h:46.75

    fractionify

    3.5/1.75=h/46.75

    multiply both sides by 46.75

    163.625/1.75=h

    divide

    93.5=h

    rounded to 94

    the actual height=94m high
