As shown in the figures, two poles of height 8m and 4m are perpendicular to the groudn. If the length of shadow smaller pole due to sunlight is 6 m then long will be the shadow of the bigger pole of the same time?

Answer» `Pr `and `AC` are two poles who have their shadows as `QR` and `BC` respectively.
The shadows are formed at the same time.
`:.DeltaPQR~DeltaABC`
`:.(PR)/(AC)=(QR)/(BC)`
`:.(PR)/(AC)=(QR)/(BC)`……[Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional]
`:.(4)/(8)=(6)/(x)`
`:.4xx x=8xx6 :. x=(8xx6)/(4)`
`:.x=12 : BC=12m`
