70) A building built on a level field casts a shadow seven feet long and stands 35 feet tall. A nearby building casts a shadow 14 feet long. How tall is the building?

1. 28
2. 42
3. 56
4. 70

Answer 4 is correct. The shadow is one-fifth of the building height on building one. Since the are both on a level field, you can expect the same ratio (14*5=70).
