Question

AN ELECTRIC POLE,14 METERS HIGH COSTS A SHADOW OF 10 METERS.FIND THE HEIGHT OF A POLE THAT COSTS A SHADOW OF 5 METERS

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of the height of pole to shadow = 14 : 10

similarly ratio of pole of height x to shadow = x : 5

$\frac{14}{10} = \frac{x}{5} \\ x = \frac{14 \times 5}{10} \\ x = \frac{14}{2} \\ x = 7$

the height of the pole is 7 m

hope you get your answer
