Please solve it.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the pole is 3.24 m.

Step-by-step explanation :

Given,

Length of the shadow of a tower = 100 m

Height of tower = 36 m

Let the height of the electric poll be x whose shadow is 9 m long at the same time.

According to question,

⇒ 100/36 = 9/x

⇒ 100 × x = 9 × 36

⇒ x = 324/100

⇒ x = 3.24 m
