Question

2. A tower of height 24 m casts a shadow 50 m and at the same time a girl
of height 1.8 m cast a shadow. Find the length of the shadow of girl. *​

Answer 1

Answer:

Direct Proportion

24 : 50 :: 1.8 : x

24x = 50 x 1.8

24x = 90

x = 90/24

  = 3.75

The length of the shadow of the girl = 3.75m

Answer 2

the length of the shadow =3.75

as they are in direct proportion

let the length of the shadow = X

so , 24:50::1.8:X

product of extremes = product of means

24x=90

X=90/24

X=3.75..
