Answer 2

the height of the telephone pole is 40 feet

Explanation:

The computation of the height of the telephone pole is shown below:

Let us assume the height be x

Now we used the following formula

= Height ÷ Shadow length

x ÷ 20 feet = 6 feet ÷ 3 feet

Now do cross multiplication between two sides

So

x = 40 feet

hence, the height of the telephone pole is 40 feet

And this is height, not a night
