To calculate:The difference of measures of longer and shorter parts of a pole.
Answer to Problem 12PSA
The difference of measures of longer and shorter parts of a pole is 16 m
Explanation of Solution
Given information
A 60 m pole is cut into two parts in the ration of 11: 4
Formula used If the pole of Z units is cut into two parts in the ration of x: y , then measure of:
One part will be given by
Other part will be given by
Calculation:The pole is cut in the ratio
Therefore,
Longer part of the pole
Shorter part of the pole
Then,
Difference of their measures = 44 − 28 = 16 m
Hence, Longer part of the pole is 16 m longer than shorter part of the pole
