Question

$\text{A pole of height 12 feet is reduced with a scale}$
$\text{factor of}\frac{3}{4}\text{to form a new pole. Find the height of}$ $\text{the new pole.}$

• A. 6 ft
• B. 7 ft
• C. 8 ft
• D. 9 ft

Answer 1

The correct option is D 9 ft

$\text{Given,}$



$\frac{3}{4}\times \text{Height of the previous pole = Height}$ $\text{of the new pole}$

$\frac{3}{4}\times 12=\text{Height of the new pole}$

9 = Height of the new pole

Hence, the height of the new pole is 9 ft.
