Second gets. Find the share of each.f. Two poles of different heights are standing vertically on a horizontal field. At a particulartime, the ratio between the lengths of their shadows is 2:3. If the height of the smallerpole is 7.5 m, find the height of the other pole. |

Answer» Answer: Let the height of the BIGGER pole be 'x' m. Given that ratio of their SHADOWS = 2:3 Length of the smaller pole = 7.5 m So, the length of the poles must be PROPORTIONAL to the ratio of the length of their shadows. So, Length of the smaller pole: Length of the bigger pole :: 2:3 => 7.5: x :: 2:3 =>7.5x=23 => x=7.5×32 => x = 11.25 m So, the lengh of the bigger pole = 11.25 m |
