Pythagorean theorum — A^2 + B^2 = C^2

It takes like two seconds….do it yourself

The building can be a, and the building is 169.29 meters high. The shadow can be the bottom, and can be b, and the shadow is 115.5 meters long. You have to then do the pythagorean theorem, 169.29(169.29) + 115.5(115.5) = C(Squared). 169.29(169.29) = 28,659.1041. 115.5(115.5) = 13,340.25. Then you just add 28,659.1041 + 13,340.25 = 41,999.3541. You then find the square root of 41,999.3541, and that equals 204.93. You then round your answer to the nearest meter, so it’s 205 meters.

So, the distance from the tip of the monument to the tip of the shadow is 205 meters.

This is a very easy question, with a very simple formula. All you have to do is use A^2 + B^2 = C^2. (In case you don’t know, the ^ sign means squared) It takes like, 15 seconds if you work it in a calculator. The easiest way to do it on paper is to draw a picture. The building is the left side of the right triangle, and the shadow is like the bottom of a right triangle. You then have to find the hypotnuse (The diagnol side).

Sorry if this is a bit confusing, but I explained it step by step, so it shouldn’t be too hard to comprehend. Good luck with your homework, and take care.

in a right triangleABC,

AB2 +BC2=AC2

169.29*169.29+115.5*115.5=41999.354

square root=204.937m

=205m
