Answer:
The height of the telephone pole is 24 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The same rays are falling on the pole and yardstick, so at the same time of day both pole and yardstick have same angle of elevation from the ground.
<em>The height of yard stick is 36 inch and shadow is 15 inch long.</em>
<em>Let the height of pole be "x" , with shadow 10 feet long.</em>
1 feet = 12 inches
The 2 triangles are similar. Thus,
<em></em>
<em>x = 288 inches = </em>
Thus, the height of telephone pole is 24 feet.
