Answer:
20 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Shadow of vertical poles : 6m ; 15m
Length of poles : 8cm ; h
8cm long pole = shadow length, 6m
h cm long pole = shadow length, 15 m
Using cross multiplication :
8cm * 15 m = h cm * 6m
120 = 6h
h = 120 / 6
h = 20 cm
Height of second pole = 20cm
Hello,
sin B/b=sin C/c
==>sin B=√3 / 2 * 6/8=3√3 /8
The given scale for the map means that a distance of 1 cm between two locations on the map corresponds to a real distance between them of 600,000 cm = 6 km.
So, if the distance between two places in reality is 87 km, on the map this would be represented by a distance of 14.5 cm, since
87 = 84 + 3
87 = 6 • 14 + 6 • (1/2)
87 = 6 • (14 + 1/2)
