A flagpole 18 meters high casts a shadow of length 45 meters. If a building under similar conditions casts a shadow of length 65 meters, what is the height of the building (in meters)?  Choices:
A) 22
B) 24
C) 26
D) 28
E) 30
The height:length ratio will be equal in both cases.   18 / 45 = x / 65   x = 26   The answer is 26.
