Question

A stick 1 meter long casts a shadow 1.2 meters long. A building casts a shadow 17 meters long. How tall is the building (to 2 decimal places)

Answer 1

Answer:

14.17m

Step-by-step explanation:

1 / 1.2 = x / 17

x = 17 / 1.2 = 14.1666667 -> 14.17m

Answer 2

14.17m tall is the building (to 2 decimal places).

What is after the decimal point?

Digits after the decimal point. The position of the digit to the right of the decimal point of the number is written in decimal notation. For example, 0.079 has 0 decimal places, 7 decimal places, and 9 decimal places.

Rounding a decimal number to two decimal places is the same as rounding to one-hundredth of the second decimal place. For example, 2.83620364 can be rounded from 2.84 to two decimal places, and 0.7035 can be rounded from 0.70 to two decimal places.

1 / 1.2 = x / 17

x = 17 / 1.2 = 14.1666667 -> 14.17m
