Average speed = total distance / total time
Total distance covered = 6 miles; total time = 45 minutes = 0.75 hours
Average speed = 6/ 0.75 = 8 miles/hour
We know the rule that,
At particular time for all object , ratio of height and shadow are same.
Let the height of the pole be 'H'
Then
=> H = 108 m.
Let the required height of the building be x meter
More shadow length, More height(direct proportion)
Hence we can write as
(shadow length) 40.25 : 28.75 :: 17.5 : x
? 40.25 × x = 28.75 × 17.5
? x = 28.75 × 17.5/40.25
= 2875 × 175/40250
= 2875 × 7/1610
= 2875/230
= 575/46
= 12.5 cm
