Question

an electric pole14 metre high cast a shadow of 10 metre find the height of a tree that can't Shadow of 15 metre under similar condition
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As shadow is directly propotional to height, we can say that,

Height/Shadow =k=k, where k is a constant.

So, in case of electric pole,

1410=k→(1)1410=k→(1)

In case of tree,

HT15=k→(2)HT15=k→(2), where HTHT is height of tree

So, from (1) and (2),

1410=HT151410=HT15

HT=14∗1510=21mHT=14∗1510=21m

So, height of tree is 2121 meters.
