How do you find the approximate height of a monument when the shadow is 500 ft and the flagpole is 40 ft and the shadow 36ft?

They both share the same tangent ratio so let the height of the monument be x:
500/x = 40/36
Solving the above equation gives x a value of 450 which is the height in feet.

If the angle of elevation of the sun is 53 degrees when a flagpole casts a shadow of 12 m then the height of the flagpole is?
The flagpole is 15.92 metres, approx.
A flagpole casts a ten meter shadow at the same time as a six meter statue beside it casts a two meter shadow What is the height of the flagpole?
The statue is 6/2 = 3 times the length of its shadow. The flagpole is 3 times its shadow ie the flagpole is 3*10 = 30 metres.

Suppose you know the height of a flagpole on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay and that you know the length of its shadow How do you calculate the angle of elevation?
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
How tall is a flagpole that casts a shadow of 35 feet long with a man 6 feet tall who cast a shadow of 8 feet long?
The height of the flagpolle is 26.25 feet
When the shadow of a flagpole is 31.2m long a 1.6m fencepost casts a shadow 2.6m long how tall is the flagpole?
First, find the ratio of fencepost-height : shadow which is 1.6 : 2.6 . This can also be written as a fraction, 1.6/2.6 . Then, multiply the flagpole's shadow by this ratio: 31.2 x 1.6/2.6 = 19.2 The flagpole is 19.2m high. The trigonometry way: On the imaginary right angled triangle formed by the fencepost and its shadow, let the angle at which the hypotenuse meets the ground = θ sinθ = 1.6/2.6 sinθ = /31.2 x/31.2 = 1.6/2.6 2.6x = 31.2 * 1.6 = 49.92 x = 19.2 The flagpole is 19.2m high.

How tall is a flagpole that casts a shadow 35 feet long when a man 6 feet tall casts a shadow 8 feet long?
The flagpole is 26 feet, 3 inches tall. (210/8 feet = 26.25 feet)Since the ratio of height to shadow is 6/8, the flagpole is also 3/4 as tall as its shadow.6/8 (man) = x/35 (pole)6/8 (35) = x210/8 = xx = 26.25 feet
The shadow of a flag pole shortens 50 feet as the angle of the sun decreses from 60 to 40 find the nearest foot the height of the flagpole?
56 feet.
