Answer:
Height of tower is 36 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the shadow formed by pole and tower is making two triangles on same base
Both the triangles are similar since one angle is 90 and one angle is common(assuming both shadows end at the same point) so
by basic proportionality theorem
5/24=7.5/h (h=height of tower)
h=(7.5×24)÷5=36
