Question

A vertical pole length 20 m casts a shadow 10 m long on the ground and at the same time a tower casts a shadow 50 m long,then the height of tower ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

then from the angle we are seeing tan is same so 20/10=100/50 so reqd height is 100m

Given,

Length of the vertical pole = 6 m

Shadow of the pole = 4 m

Let the height of the tower be h m.

Length of the shadow of the tower = 28 m

Class 10 Maths Chapter 6 Triangles 04

In ΔABC and ΔDFE,

∠C = ∠E (angle of elevation)

∠B = ∠F = 90°

By AA similarity criterion,

ΔABC ~ ΔDFE

We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

AB/DF = BC/EF

6/h = 4/28

h = (6 ×28)/4

h = 6 × 7

h = 42

Hence, the height of the tower = 42 m
