Question

a pole that is 2.9 M tall casts a shadow that is 1.56 M long at the same time a nearby Tower casts a shadow that is 40.25 meters long how tall is the tower round your answer to the nearest meter​

Answer 1

h = 74.823 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

pole tall = 2.9 M

shadow long = 1.56 M

Tower shadow = 40.25 meters

solution

we get here tower height that is h

so as per given image below

we could see two similar triangles.

Similar triangles have sides proportional

tan θ =
`(2.9)/(1.56) = (h)/(40.25)`

h = 74.823 m
