A 32-m tall building casts a shadow the distance from the top of the building to the tip of the shadow is 34 m find the length of the shadow if necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find this answer by simply doing the reverse of the Pythagorean Theorem. The formula for Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2, so the reverse would be b^2=c^2-a^2. All we have to do is substitute in the numbers and solve.

b^2=c^2-a^2

b^2=36^2-32^2

b^2=272

sqrt(b^2) sqrt(272)

b=16.492

Since we are rounding to the nearest tenth, our answer will be 16.5 meters.

well in order to answer the question, you have to give us the dimensions of the prism first.
