Answer:
The length of the shadow of the second pole is 16.5 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportional ratio (since the two poles stand side by side).
[tex]\frac{height}{shadow} =\frac{height}{shadow}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{4}{11} =\frac{6}{x}[/tex]
Cross multiply and solve for x (the shadow of the second pole):
4 · x = 11 · 6
4x = 66
x = 66 ÷ 4
x = 16.5 m
