Answer:

length of pole = 60 cm

Explanation:

the 7 part of the ratio relates to the longer part 35 cm

divide 35 cm by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio

35 cm ÷ 7 = 5 cm , then

5 parts = 5 × 5 cm = 25 cm ← length of shorter part

length of pole is then the sum of the 2 parts , that is

length of pole = 25 + 35 = 60 cm
