Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a proportion with pole/building height on the top and shadow length on the bottom, using x for the unknown, which is the height of the building:

[tex]\frac{pole/building}{shadow}:\frac{3.4}{1.61}=\frac{x}{36.75}[/tex] and cross multiply to solve:

1.61x = 124.95 so

x = 78 m
