Question

An electric pole casts a shadow
of length 20 m at a time when a
tree 6 m high casts a shadow of length
8m. Find the height of the pole.​

Answer 1

Answer:

height of the pole =15

Step-by-step explanation:

x:20::6:8

x×8=20×6

8x=120

x=120÷8

x=15

Answer 2

I HOPE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO YOU

shadows of all the objects are proportional to their height.

Let the height of electric pole be x m.

Therefore,

x/20=6/8

x=6×20/8

x=15

so,x=15 m
