Question

Length of shadow of a 6 metre tall building is 8 metre. What is the distance of tip of the shadow and the top of the building​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are simply going to use pythagorus theorem.

in a right angled triangle base^2 + perpendicular^2 = hypoteneus^2

so, here,

base = shadow = 8m

perpendicular= building = 6m

so hypoteneus = $\sqrt{8^{2}+6^{2} }$ m = 10m
