Answer:
Your answer is 4m
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose DE is a 5 m long stick and BC is a 10m high tree.
Suppose DA and BA are the shadows of DE and BC respectively.
Now, In ∆ABC and ∆ADE ∠ABC = ∠ADE = 900 ∠A = ∠A By AA- similarity criterion ∆ABC~ ∆ADE If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.
Therefore,
AB/AD = BC/DE
AB/2 = 10/5
AB/2 = 2
AB = 4m
