Question

A tree 6 m tall, casts a 4m long shadow. At the same time a flag pole casts a 50m long shadow. How long is the flag pole?

Answer 1

Hi friend,

It's a direct variation question.

Let's solve,
In direct variation we do as follows-:

Let the height of the pole be x

6m=4m
x=50m

6/4=x/50. (cross multiply)
50*6=x*4
50*6/4=x
25*3=x
x=75

Means the flag pole height is of 75m.

Hope it helped you..........................
