A pole that is 3.5m tall casts a shadow that is 1.23m long. At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 40.25m long. How tall is the tower? Round your answer to the nearest meter.
[tex] \frac{3.5}{1.23} = \frac{x}{40.25} [/tex] cross multiply 1.23*X=3.5*40.25 1.23X=140.875 Divide to isolate the variable X=114.53252032 Then round the answer X=115 m
