Question 21.
A girl of height 90 cm is walking away from the base of a lamp-post at a speed of 1.2 m/sec. If the lamp is 3.6 m above ground, find the length of her shadow after 4 seconds.
Solution:
Let AB be the lamp post and CD be the girl and AB = 3.6 m, CD = \(\frac { 90 }{ 100 }\) = 9 m
Distance covered in 4 seconds = 1.2 m x 4 = 4.8 m
