Question

A pole casts a 6-foot shadow. If the distance from the top of the pole to the tip of the shadow is

Answer 1

Answer:

8feet high

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the height of the pole, we will use the pythagoras theorem. Let H be the height

H²  = 10² -6²

H² = 100 - 36

H² = 64

H = √64

H = 8feet

Hence the pole is 8feet high
