Question

On a day, the shadow of a pole and tower are respectively 30 m and 40 m. If the height of the tower is
60 m, find the height of the pole.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

45m = height of pole

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the height of shadow of pole to the shadow of tower is,

30:40

3:4 ...ratio 1

let the height of pole be x,

then, the ratio of height of pole to the height of tower is,

x:60 ...ratio 2

ratio 1 = ratio 2

3:4 = x:60

3/4 = x/60

(60×3)/4 = x

x = 45m
