By similar triangles;
1/10 = (4-1.5)/X
X = 2.5(10) = 25m.

If downslope 25m, If Upward slope asked then it's 55m.

Downward 25m.

Upward 45m.

In a simple way we can say that;

Let consider the slope is downward which 1 in 10.

So at 10m, the staff reading becomes 1. 5+1=2. 5m (staff reading).

At 20 m distance reading becomes 3. 5m.

Similarly, at 25 m distance, the reading becomes 4m. Which is the full length of the staff?

Thanks.

4 - 1.5 = 2.5.
2.5 * 10 = 25.
