Question

Q4. A tree 8 metres high Casts a shadow of length 24 metres. Find the height of a pole which Casts a
shadow 30 metres at the same time.​

Answer 1

Answer:

10m

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the tree = 8m

Shadow of the tree = 24m

Height of the pole = x

Shadow of the pole = 30m

Height of object (in metres) / Length of shadow (in metres)

This is in direct proportion,

8/24 = x/30

240 = 24x

24x = 240

x = 240/24

x = 10

Therefore, the height of the pole is 10m.
