Question

A pole of 16m high cast a shadow of 8m find the high of a pole that cast a shadow of 17m

Answer 1

Answer:

This is not hard question,

Two saprate picture are drawn for this question,

First pic,

pole length=16m,shadow length=8m,

Then, tan theta=16/8. --equation 1

Second picture,

Pole length=?, shadow picture=17m,

Then, tan theta=?/17 ---equation 2

From the equation 1and2 we have,

16/8=?/17

2=?/17

?=17×2=34

Then, the pole length of second picture is 34 m.
