Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

SOLUTION: -

Given:

Length of the vertical pole = 6 m • Shadow of the pole = 4 m

Let the height of the tower be h m.

Length of the shadow of the tower = 28 m

Figure Provided in the above attachn

In AABC and ADFE,

ZCZE (angle of elevation)

ZB = F = 90°

By AA similarity criterion:

AABC~ ADFE

• We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

AB/DF = BC/EF

6/h = 4/28

h = (6×28)/4

h = 6 x 7

h = 42

• Hence, the height of the tower = 42 m.
