Answer:

The length of the shadow of the second pole is 16.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportional ratio (since the two poles stand side by side).

\frac{height}{shadow} =\frac{height}{shadow}

\frac{4}{11} =\frac{6}{x}

Cross multiply and solve for x (the shadow of the second pole):

4 · x = 11 · 6

4x = 66

x = 66 ÷ 4

x = 16.5 m
