State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

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
