If a tree 24 m high casts a shadow of 15 m, then the height of a pole that casts a shadow of 6 m under similar conditions is 9.6 m.


True

Height of a tree = 24m


Then its shadow = 15m


With the similar condition, if a pole has a shadow of length = 6m


Let the height of pole = x m


Since, length and shadow vary directly.


Then,


15× x = 24× 6



x = 9.6m
