If a 42.9 ft tall flagpole casts a 253.1 ft long shadow then how long is the shadow that a 6.2 ft tall woman casts.?
It is approx 36.6 ft.
If a 30 foot flagpole casts a 12 foot shadow how tall is a mailbox casting a 18 inch shadow?
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using the similar triangles formed by the flagpole and its shadow, and the mailbox and its shadow. The height of the flagpole to its shadow is 30 feet to 12 feet, which simplifies to 5:2. Using this ratio, we can determine the height of the mailbox by setting up the proportion 5/2 = x/1.5 (converting 18 inches to feet). Solving for x, the height of the mailbox would be 3.75 feet.
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.
What is the height of a flagpole that casts a 40 foot shadow?
To calculate that, you'd need to know the angle of the light source or the time of day or have some other object to compare it to.
The shadow cast by a house is 55 feet long.At the same time a flagpole that is 15 feet tall casts a 25 foot long shadow.How tall is the house?
25
A flagpole casts a shadow of 40 ft nearby a 10-ft tree casts a shadow of 2 ft what is the height of the flagpole?
Ten is to two as 40 is to x, yielding: 200ft.
If a flagpole casts a shadow of 7.7m and a meter stick casts a shadow of 1.4m how tall is the flagpole?
To find the height of the flagpole, you can use the concept of similar triangles. The ratio of the height of the flagpole to the length of its shadow should equal the ratio of the height of the meter stick (1 meter) to its shadow (1.4 meters). Therefore, the height of the flagpole can be calculated as follows: [ \text{Height of flagpole} = \frac{7.7 , \text{m}}{1.4 , \text{m}} \times 1 , \text{m} \approx 5.5 , \text{m}. ] Thus, the flagpole is approximately 5.5 meters tall.

If a tree casts a shadow of fifteen meters long how tall is the tree?
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
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.
What is the geometric figure of shadow of a flagpole?

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 meter stick cast a shadow 1.4m long at the same time a flagpole casts a shadow 7.7m long the triangle formed by the meterstick and its shadow is similar.how tall is the flagpole?
84 feet tall
A flagpole casts a shadow 102 feet long a 6ft talk man casts a shadow 17ft long How tall is the flagpole?
It works out as: 42.353 feet tall rounded to 3 decimal places
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 does the shadow of a flagpole changes throughout the day?
