The length of the shadow of a tree of height 5.4 m is 9.6 m. At the same time, the length of the shadow of a building 43.2 m high is: |
72 m 76.8 m 64 m 80.2 m |
76.8 m |
The given ratio of height and length: ⇒ Tree : Shadow = 5.4 : 9.6 = 9 : 16 *At the same time the above ratio remains same* Therefore, ratio of height and length: ⇒ Building : Shadow = 9 : 16 Here, ⇒ 9R = 43.2 ⇒ Length of shadow = 16R = \(\frac{43.2}{9}\) × 16 = 76.8 |
