Given that, a pole that is 2.5 m tall casts a shadow that is 1.47 m long.
At the same time, a nearby tower casts a shadow that is 36.25 m long.
We have to find height of the tower.
Now, we know that,
Then, (let it be) n meter tall 36.25 long shadow
So, by cross multiplication method,
This can be written as,
