Answer:
The distance between the tip of the shadow and flagpole is 40.80 m.
Explanation:
Let the flagpole be represented by AB and the shadow BC . We have to find the distance between C and A .
Considering the right angle CA is the hypotenuse .
Using the Pythagoras theorem
(Hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (perpendicular)²
CA= √(24)² + (33)²
CA= √576+1089
CA= 40.80 m
The distance between the tip of the shadow and flagpole is 40.80 m.
