Question

6.
A vertical pole of 5.6 m height casts a shadow 3.2 m long. At the same time find (1) the
length of the shadow cast by another pole 10.5 m high (ii) the height of a pole which casts
a shadow 5m long.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If length of pole=5.6m casts a shadow =3.2m long.

(i) Then if height =10.5m, then length of shadow=

5.6/3.2 ×10.5

=6m

(ii) If shadow length=3.2m, then height=5.6m

Then, if shadow length=5m, then height of pole=

3.2/5.6 ×5

=8.75m.
