Correct Answer
D
Explanation
To find the height of the building, we can use similar triangles and the concept of similar triangles in geometry.
Let's denote the height of the building as 'H'. We can set up the following proportion:
(H / 300) = (2.5 / 5)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2.5 * 300 = 5 * H
750 = 5H
Dividing both sides by 5, we find:
H = 750 / 5
H = 150
Therefore, the height of the building is 150 meters.
