Question

A child whose height is 150 cm long shadow 2 m. if the length of the shadow of the flagpole 3.5 m . how much high flagpole is

Answer 1

Let the height of flagpole be 'x'
Therefore, height of child/height of flagpole = shadow of child/shadow of flagpole
150/x = 2/3.5
2x = 525
x = 262.5 cm

So, height of flagpole is 262.5 m.

Answer 2

For 2m shadow, the height is 150 cm


We can use simple proportion.

That is---
Height of child / Height of flagpole = Length of child's shadow/ length of flagpole's shadow

Now let the height of flagpole be x

So,
150/ x = 200/350
x = (150 x 350)/200
x = 262.5cm
