Answer:
D. 32 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A tree is 12 feet tall and casts a 9-foot shadow.
The shadow is 3/4 the length of the tree (9/12 = 3/4).
We know the shadow of a nearby building is 24 feet long.
That would be 3/4 of the height of the building.
So, fidn the reciprocal of 3/4 (4/3) and multiply by 24.
24/1 * 4/3
Cross-cancellation
8/1 * 4/1
8 * 4
The building is 32 feet tall, which is D.
