Let the height of tower be h.

Given:

The shadow of tower is 7 m long,

the height of stick is 1.2 m and the shadow of stick is 0.6 m.

Use a proportion methods, to solve this problems:

$\frac{Height of tower}{Shadow of tower} = \frac{Height of stick}{Shadow of stick}$

$\frac{h}{7} = \frac{1.2}{0.6}$

Simplify:

$\frac{h}{7} =2$

Multiply both sides by 7 we have;

$\frac{h}{7} \times 7 = 2 \times 7$

Simplify:

h = 14 m

Therefore, the height of tower is, 14 m
