pole height=P= 3 x tree height
tree height=T= pole height- 15
T=(3xT)-15
0=3xT-15-T
2T=15
T=7.5 feet
P=22.5 feet and wye the fuge would you care!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!! lol nerds !

What is the height of a tower if its shadow is 500 feet long and a flag pole is 40 feet tall with a shadow 36 feet long?
The ratio of the height of the object to its shadow are the same for both objects. So, if H is the height of the tower, then H/500 = 40/36 therefore H = 500*40/36 = 555.55... feet.

How high is a tree that casts a 38 ft shadow when at the same time a pole casts an 11 ft shadow?
The question cannot be answered on two counts:first of all, how "high" the tree is would mean how far off the ground the tree is, although the question probably meant how "tall" the tree ismore importantly, the question does not mention how tall the pole is, so it is not possible to determine how tall the tree is, even assuming that both the tree and the pole are at right angles to the groundAnswerThe ratio of the height of the pole (Hp) to the length o the shadow of the pole (Lsp) is the same as the ratio of the height of the tree (Ht) to the length of the shadow of the tree (Lst).SoHp/Lps = Ht/LstSo inserting the known data:Hp/11 = Ht/38Then reorganizing:Ht = 38/11 Hp = 3.45HpThe tree is 3.45 times the height of the pole
A tree casts a shadow that is 20 feet long Frank is 6 feet tall and while standing next to the tree he casts a shadow that is 4 feet long How tall is the tree?
The ratios are in the same proportion, so all you need to really figure out is what is in the same ratio to 20 as 6 is to 4.

Two workers tied a 50 foot cable to the top of a pole they were going to cut down The cable reached 40 feet from the base of the pole How tall was the pole?
Assuming the ground is flat and level. The pole, ground and cable would form a right triangle. Using Pythagorean's theorem: a2+b2=c2 x2+402=502 x2=2500-1600 = 900 x = √900 = 30 feet. The pole is 30 feet tall.
