It is nearly 40 feet
How tall is a flag pole if the shadow is 15 feet?
That depends on the angle of elevation which has not been given.
How do you find the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow of a 12 foot flag pole to the top of the pole is 60 degrees?
is that the entire question because you already gave the angle, meaning you now have every angle for the triangle created by the pole and 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
What is the height of a flag pole that cast a shadow of 7.42 m at an angle of elevation 48.4 degrees on level ground?
Using tangent ratio for a right angle triangle: tan(48.4)*7.42 = 8.357 m which is the height of the flag pole rounded to 3 decimal places
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.
What is the height of a flag pole whose shadow is 7.42 yards long when the angle of elevation towards the sun is 48.4 degrees?
Height of flag pole: tangent(48.4) times 7.42 = 8.36 yards rounded to two decimal places
A flagpole is 25 meters long the angle of elevation of the sun is 40 degrees. how tall is the flag pole?

15meters
What is the height of a flagpole if a person 5 feet tall casts a 10 foot shadow at the same time that the flagpole casts a 40 foot shadow?
The flag pole would be 20 feet. (You can see that the shadows are twice as long.) At a given time of the day, the length of a shadow cast by any object will have the same relationship to its actual height as all other objects. Here the ratio is 5/10 = x/40 and multiplying both sides by 40, 20 = x.
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.
