    Assuming ratio and poroprtion tower

    actualheight/shadow=6/14

    other one is?/119

    hold a second, they did a tric they did inches and feet

    watch the units

    119ft=119*12in=1428iin

    6ft=6*12in=72in

    72/14=?/1428

    times both sides by 14*1428 or just cross multiply

    72*1428=14?

    102816=14?

    divide both sides by 14

    7344=?

    this in inches

    divide by 12

    612=?

    612 feet is the phone tower
