Question

an electric pole 24 M high Casts a shadow of 20 m long find the height of tree if it cast a shadow of 15 M under similar conditions

Answer 1

The height of tree is 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of electric pole = 24 m

Length of shadow of electric pole = 20 m

Height : Shadow = 24:20

Let the height of tree be x

Shadow of tree = 15 m

Height : Shadow = x:15

So,$\frac{24}{20}=\frac{x}{15}$

$\frac{24}{20} \times 15 = x$

$18=x$

Hence the height of tree is 18 m
