THe tower's shadow is 40 feet. The stick is 8 feet tall and cast a shadow taht is 5 feet. How tall is the tower ?
\(\frac{x}{40}=\frac{8}{5}\)
\(x=\frac{8*40}{5}\)
x=64
Stick's height / Its shadow height = Tower's height / Its shadow height
8 / 5 = Tower's height / 40 multiply both sides by 40
40 * 8 / 5 = Tower's height
64 ft =Tower's height
