A flagpole 18 meters high casts a shadow of length 45 meters. If a building under similar conditions casts a shadow of length 70 meters, what is the height of the building (in meters)?
Select
A) 20
B) 24
C) 28
D) 32
E) 36
The height:length ratio will be equal in both cases.   18 / 45 = x / 70   x = 28   The answer is 28.
