It is approx 36.6 ft.
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.
The shadow:object ratio is 1:1 so the tree is 63 feet high.

40 meters
The man is 5.96 feet tall and the lamp is 17.88 feet high.
It works out as 3.75 feet
4 is to 6 as 5 is to X. 4/6 = 5/X. X = 7.5 feet.
Earth casts the shadow.
Either the Moon casts its shadow on Earth, or the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon.
To solve this you need to put 5.3 over 8 to represent the first lamp post then you need to put x over 128, so you can find the height of the lamp post. The lamp post is 84 feet 8 inches.
(35/7)*4 = 20 Ft.
1. How high is a flagpole that casts a shadow of 45 ft at the same time a woman 5.5 ft tall casts a shadow 10 ft?
A tree casts a large shadow.

A 1 foot shadow I think.
