Question

A flag pole 8m tall conte a
10m shadow. At the same time, a nearby building costs a shadow of 30m.How tall is the building​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The height of building is 24 meter

Solution:

Given that,

Length of pole = 8 m

Shadow of pole = 10 m

Shadow of building = 30 m

Height of building = "x" meter

Set up a proportion comparing length and shadow of pole and building

$\frac{ \text { Length of pole }}{ \text { Shadow of pole }} = \frac{ \text { Height of building }} { \text { Shadow of building }}$

Therefore,

$\frac{8}{10} = \frac{x}{30}$

Solve by cross multiplying

$8 \times 30 = 10x\\\\10x = 240\\\\x = 24$

Thus the height of building is 24 meter
