Cant you use a ratio here?
h1/s1=h2/s2 solve for h2
Give your answer in meters. (You may need the fact that 100 cm = 1 m.)
h1/s1=h2/s2 solve for h2
171/1.01388888889=168.657534246
ans-168.657534246
Let's say the height of the building is "x" meters. The proportion can be set up as follows:
144 cm / 146 cm = x m / 171 m
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
144 cm * 171 m = 146 cm * x m
Now let's convert the units so that they're all in meters:
(144 cm * 171 m) / (146 cm) = x m
(144 * 171) / 146 = x
33264 / 146 = x
x ≈ 227.86
Therefore, the height of the building is approximately 227.86 meters.
