A street light bulb is fixed on a pole 48\(m\) above the level of the street. If a woman of height 3\(m\) casts a shadow of 10\(m\), find how far she is away from the base of the pole.
Answer:
Let the distance between pole and the woman be \(x \ m\).
Here, the woman and pole are both standing vertically.
So, \(CD||\).
By similarity criterion\(\Delta CDE \sim \Delta ABE\).
The woman is \(m\) way from the base of the pole.
(Note: If the answer is the whole number, write as it is. If not, round off to 2 decimal places).
