A flagpole 18 meters high casts a shadow of length 45 meters. If a building under similar conditions casts a shadow of length 55 meters, what is the height of the building (in meters)?  Select
A) 20
B) 22
C) 24
D) 26
E) 28
The height:length ratio will be equal in both cases.   18 / 45 = x / 55   x = 22   The answer is 22.
