AleksAgata [21]

Given :

A 136 foot tall cell phone tower casts a 79.9 foot shadow.

To Find :

The shadow length for a nearby 40 foot telephone pole .

Solution :

We know , the ratio of height and shadow , will be same for every object .

Let , length of shadow of pole is x .

So ,

$\dfrac{79.9}{136}=\dfrac{x}{40}\\\\x=\dfrac{79.9\times 40}{136}\ foot\\\\x=23.5\ foot$

Therefore , the length of shadow of tower is 23.5 foot .

Hence , this is the required solution .
