Let AB and AC be the vertical pole and its shadow, respectively.
According to the question:
AB = 6 m
AC = 3.6 m
Again, let DE and DF be the tower and its shadow.
According to the question:
DF = 18 m
DE =?
Now, in right -angled triangles ABC and DEF, we have:
BAC= EDF =90°
ABC=DFC
therefore, By AA similarity theorem.
We get ABC -DEF
So, DE = 6×180÷3.6
=30.
Hope its help you
