Question

A vertical pole os 5.6m height casts a shadow 3.2m long at the same time find the length of the shadow cast by another pole 10.5m high?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If length of pole=5.6m casts a shadow =3.2m long.

(i) Then if height =10.5m, then length of shadow=

5.6

3.2

×10.5

=6m

(ii) If shadow length=3.2m, then height=5.6m

Then, if shadow length=5m, then height of pole=

3.2

5.6

×5

=8.75m.
