Answer 1

Answer:

The length of pole, AB = 35 m

Length of shadow, BC = 12 m

Let, AC is the distance from the top to the shadow

${(ac)}^{2} = {(ab)}^{2} + {(bc)}^{2}$

$\: \: \: \: {(35)}^{2} + {(12)}^{2}$

$\: \: \: \: 1225 + 144$

$\: \: 1369$

$ac = \sqrt{1369}$

$\: \: \sqrt{37 \times 37}$

$\: \: 37$

Distance of the top to the shadow = 37 m

Ans. c) 37 m

Hope it helps.
