What is the length of the shadow cast by a 63 foot high pole if a 27 foot high pole casts an 18 foot shadow?
If a 27 ft tall pole casts an 18 foot shadow, a 63 ft tall pole casts an x foot shadow.Put 27/18 and 63/x.Cross multiply, get 27x=1134Divide by 27 on both sides, a 63 foot tall pole casts a 42 foot long shadow.

A 3 foot pole casts a 6 foot shadow A 4 foot pole casts an 8 foot shadow Use a linear equation to predict the length of a shadow cast by a 6 foot pole?
Shadow lengths are proportional to the heights of objects casting the shadows. Therefore, calling the shadow length l, the height h, and the proportionality constant k, l = kh. (The intercept is 0 because an object with no height casts no shadow.) Therefore, in this instance k = l/h = 6/3 or 8/4 = 2. then l(6) = 2 X 6 = 12 feet.
How high is a tree that casts a 37 ft shadow at the same time a 4foot pole casts a 12 foot shadow?
It works out as 12 feet and 4 inches in height

You need more info, probably an angle of elevation or something like that. It may be 14ft tall.
How tall is a flag pole that casts an 18 ft shadow at the same time that a 6 ft man casts a 4 ft shadow?
We can solve this problem using a ratio. Since a 6 foot man casts a 4 foot shadow we can write this ratio as 6:4. If we reduce this ratio we get 3:2. Now we're stating that for every 3 feet of height, the shadow cast will be 2 feet.Now we can work our problem out using a small table:3 feet of flag pole = 2 feet of shadow6 feet of flag pole = 4 feet of shadow9 feet of flag pole = 6 feet of shadow12 feet of flag pole = 8 feet of shadow15 feet of flag pole = 10 feet of shadow18 feet of flag pole = 12 feet of shadowTherefore an 18 foot flag pole will cast a 12 foot shadow at the same time that a 6 foot man casts a 4 foot shadow.
How far is it from the top of the flag pole to the tip of the shadow if the flag pole that is 18 feet tall casts a 24 foot shadow?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it is 30 feet
How is a tree that casts a 28-ft shadow at the same time a 4-ft pole casts a shadow which is 9-ft long?
