Answer: The tower's shadow is 60 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve this:

24/45 = 32/x

Cross multiply: (Numerator of left side times the denominator of right side, and denominator of the left side by numerator of right side.)

24x = 32(45)

24x = 1440  divide both sides by 24

x = 60
