Question

A 12 cm long vertical stick reflects 8 cm long shadow,at the same instant a tower reflects a 40 m long shadow.Then what is the height of the tower?

Answer 1

Answer:

HEIGHT OF TOWER = 60m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of tower be x meters.

At the same time means angle theta will be same in both cases.

Since the two triangles are similar by AA similarity criterion, then

x/40 = 12/8

x = 12×40/8

x = 60 m
