Answer

Length of Shadow is 8 m

Solution

Given that :-

Height of pole = 6m

tan theta = 3/4

Let , Length of Shadow = x m

Now we are provided with tan theta and we know that

\tan( \theta) = \frac{perpendicular}{base} \\

Here putting required values :-

= > \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{x} \\

= > 3x = 24 \\

= > x = \frac{24}{3} \\

= > x = 8 \\

So the value of x is 8m
