Using trigonometry its height is 12 feet

The height of the flagpolle is 26.25 feet

When the light source is directly over it or at night.
They both have the same tangent ratio so let the flagpole be x: x/60 = 18/24 Multiply both sides by 60: x = 1080/24 x = 45 feet
Using trigonometry its height is 12 feet
35 feet tall.
The height of the flagpolle is 26.25 feet
The lenght of the shadow will be 12.6 ft
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
I think this question is about similar shapes. To answer this divide the height of the tree, 5ft, by the shadow cast by it, 3 ft. This will give you the scale factor. To then find the answer, times the scale factor by the shawdow cast by the nearby tree, and will find your answer in ft. Hope this helped.

It would be December in the Philippines if the shadow of a vertical flagpole is pointing southward at noon time. This is because in December, during the winter solstice, the sun is at its lowest point in the sky, causing shadows to be cast towards the south at noon.
