The shadow of a 10 cm long vertical stick is 8cm.

To Find:

At the same time the shadow of a tower is 30 cm. Find the height of the tower.

Solution :

The shadow of a 10 cm long vertical

stick is 8cm

Shadow:Height =8cm:10cm

At the same time the shadow of a tower is 30 cm

Let the height be x cm

Shadow :Height =30cm:xcm

So, ATQ

8cm/10cm=30cm/xcm

x=(10×30)/8cm

x=300/8cm

x=37.5

Hence, the height of tower is 37.5cm.
