Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

Height of the electric pole = 15 m

◆ Explanation -

Let x be height of the electric pole.

Shadow of electric pole or tree at a certain time is proportional to its original length.

x/20 = 6/8

x = 6/8 × 20

x = 15 m

Hence, height of the electric pole is 15 m.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
