Answer 1

Answer:

48 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a case of direct proportion.

When the height of pole is long, the shadow is also long. Therefore it is a case of direct variation.

Let height of tower be x

 First pole = 12 m

Shadow = 10 m

Height of tower = x

Shadow = 40 m

Therefore,

40 X 12 = 10x

480 = 10x

x = 480/10

  = 48 m

Therefore ,

The height of tower casting a shadow of 40 m = 48 m
