Question

A tree 24m high casts a shadow of 15 m. At the same time the length of the shadow cast by some other tree is 6m. Find the height of the tree ?

Answer 1

Given,

The tree of height 24m casts a shadow of length 15m.

To find,

The length of the shadow casted by other tree is 6 metres.

Solution,

As the time is same,so we are assuming that the length of the shadow will be directly proportional to the height of the tree in every cases.

So,

15m shadow casted by = 24 m tree

1 m shadow casted by = 24/15 m tree

6 m shadow casted by = 24×6/15 = 9.6 m

Hence,the height of the tree is 9.6 metres.
