Question

Two poles of different heights are standing vertically on a horizontal field. At a particular
time, the ratio between the lengths of their shadows is 2:3. If the height of the smaller
pole is 7.5 m, find the height of the other pole.​

Answer 1

Answer:

11.25m

Step-by-step explanation:

as the length of the small pole is 7.5 m

and their shadows are in the ratio 2:3 means that even their height will be in ratio of 2:3

This means that height=(7.5*3)/2

                                      = 11.25
