Problem: a flagstaff 17.5 m high casts a shadow of length 40.25 m . the height of the building , which casts a shadow of length 28.75 m under similar conditions will be :
Rationale: "let height of the building be x meters 40.25 : 28.75 : : 17.5 < = > 40.25 x x = 28.75 x 17.5 x = 28.75 x 17.5 / 40.25 x = 12.5 answer : option b"
annotated_formula: multiply(28.75, divide(17.5, 40.25))
