Question

A person who is 1.5 m tall casts a shadow of 8 m. The distance along the ground from the person (N) to the flagpole (G) is 32 m, and the distance from the flagpole (G) to the building (D) is 200 m. Find the height of the flagpole (FG) and the height of the building (BD), showing all calculations

Answer 1

oops i got lost
where is the building, and what does this have to do with the problem?
you got a picture?

Answer 2

we can get the height of the flagpole via \[\frac{1.5}{8}=\frac{x}{40}\] so
\[x=\frac{40\times 1.5}{8}=5\times 1.5=7.5\]
