SKYSCRAPERS Josh wanted to measure the height of the Sears Tower in Chicago. He used a 12-foot light pole and measured its shadow at 1 p.m. The length of the shadow was 2 feet. Then he measured the length of the Sears Tower’s shadow and it was 242 feet at the same time. What is the height of the Sears Tower?
