If Blake is 5 feet tall and casting a 20 foot shadow how tall is the flagpole next to him whose shadow is 60 feet long?

The flagpole is 15 feet in height. At any given moment of the day, all of the shadows that are cast by objects will have lengths that are equally proportional to the actual height of the object.
Since Blake's shadow is 20 feet long and he is actually 5 feet tall, actual heights are going to be one fourth (1/4) of the length of any shadow they cast, at that specific time of the day. 60 x (1/4) = 15 feet.

If a 30 foot flagpole casts a 12 foot shadow how tall is a mailbox casting a 18 inch shadow?
First find the angle of elevation by using the tangent ratio formula:tangent = opposite (the flagpole)/adjacent (the shadow)tangent = 30/12 = 68.19859051 degreesThen rearrange the formula to find the height of the mailbox:height of mailbox = 18*tangent 68.19859051 = 44.99999......Therefore: height of mailbox = 45 inches to the nearest inch.Or,Since we have two similar right triangles whose legs are the 30 feet flagpole and its 12 feet shadow, the length x of mailbox and its 18 inches shadow, we have:18 in/x = 12 ft/30 ft (cross multiply)(12)(x) = (30)(18 in)12x = 540 in (divide by 12 to both sides)x = 45 in
