two buildings in downtown Chicago stand across the river from each other. The first buildings height is 1,700ft and it casts a shadow that is 525ft long. If the second building's height is 1,450 feet, how long will its shadow be at the same time of the day (round to the nearest foot)?
If the height of the first building is 1,700ft while its shadow is 525ft, and the second building's height is 1,450ft tall, it sets up this proportion: 1,700/525=1,450/x. By cross multiplying and solving for x we find: 1,700x=761,250; x=448ft long
