A vertical pole of length 3 m casts a shadow of 7 m and a tower casts a shadow of 28 m at a time. Find the height of tower |
|
Answer» ong>Step-by-step explanation: Height of pole=AB=6 m Length of shadow of pole =BC=4 m Length of shadow of tower=EF=28 m In △ABC and △DEF ∠B=∠E=90 ∘ both 90 ∘ as both are vertical to ground ∠C=∠F (same elevation in both the cases as both shadows are CAST at the same time) ∴△ABC∼△DEF by AA SIMILARITY criterion We know that if two triangles are similar, ratio of their sides are in proportion So, DE AB
= EF BC
⇒ DE 6
= 28 4
⇒DE=6×7=42 m Hence the height of the tower is 42 m please add to brainlist and follow me and thanks. I will follow U |
