Question

an electric pole 16 M I height a shadow of 12 m. find the height of tree that case the shadow of 20 metre under similar conditions

Answer 1

Hi ,

Height of the electric pole = H = 16m

Height of the tree = h m

Length of Shadow

of the pole= L = 12m

Length of the shadow

of the tree = l = 20m

Therefore ,

h / l = H / L

h = ( H × l ) / L

h = ( 16 × 20 ) / 12

h = ( 4 × 20 ) / 3

h = 80/3 m

I hope this helps you.

:)
