Khaled is looking trough the window of his apartment in a building in Homs. He then sees an explosion that, in his point of view, has a mushroom cloud that is 50cm tall. After 13 seconds, Khaled hears the blast caused by the explosion. How tall was the mushroom cloud generated by the explosion? Consider the speed of sound in the air as 340 m/s and disconsder the speed of light.

I agree, you present a very logical point of view on anti-theft technologies.

13secs times 340m/s = 4420m far away.
now we use pythagoras: a^2+b^2=c^2
: 0.5m^2 + 4420^2 =19.536.400.25--->c= 4.420,0000282805m tall

EDIT: nvm i just found out i calculateed something irrelevant XD
