If a pole of 10m casts a shadow of 33m then what is the height of the pole if it

6m

10m pole cast---33m shadow
1m pole cast---33/10=3.3m

3.3*x(height of pole)=20m
x=20/3.3=6.0m

so x=6.0

A 10 m pole can also cast a shadow of 20m. it depends on the position of light beam.
i think its a Dummy Question.

same as before i.e. 10m. the length of shadow depends on position of the Sun.

33:10=20:x

x= 6.06(length of pole)

for similar triangles
a1/a2=b1/b2
10/20=33/x
x=66m

x/20=10/33
x=6.06

If a pole of 10m casts a shadow of 33m.then what is the height of the pole if it casts a shadow of 20m?
