Step-by-step explanation:
given,
height of electric pole = 15m
length of its shadow = 10.5m
now,
let the height of tree be x metres
also the length of tree given is 14 metres
here, similar conditions means about sun that is casting the shadow ( both tree and pole are casting shadow with equal angles formed by cone)
therefore,
15/10.5 = x/14( draw triangles and use similarity
criterion)
now solve by cross multiplication and find the value of x that will be the height of the tree.
hope you like my explanation. I have told every detail, THANK YOU!
