Answer:
The height of the pole is 15 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let AB be the pole of height h metres
BC be the length of the shadow = 20 m
DE be the height of the tree = 6 m
EF be the length of the shadow of the tree = 8 m
AB/BC =DE/EF
h/20=6/8
8h=6*20
h =6*20/8
h = 15
The height of the pole is 15 m
