Measure of shadow of 5m long electric pole is 3m. Find the distance from the tip of the pole to the tip of shadow?
Answer: 5.8cm
Explanation
To find the distance from the tip of the pole to the tip of the shadow, use the Pythagorean theorem:
Distance² = Pole height² + Shadow length²
Given:
Pole height = 5 m
Shadow length = 3 m
Distance² = 5² + 3²
Distance² = 25 + 9
Distance² = 34
Distance = √34 ≈ 5.83 m
