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.
How tall is a flagpole that casts a shadow 35 feet long when a man 6 feet tall casts a shadow 8 feet long?
The flagpole is 26 feet, 3 inches tall. (210/8 feet = 26.25 feet)Since the ratio of height to shadow is 6/8, the flagpole is also 3/4 as tall as its shadow.6/8 (man) = x/35 (pole)6/8 (35) = x210/8 = xx = 26.25 feet
How tall is a flagpole on ground level that casts a shadow 35 feet long with a man that stands 6 feet tall and he casts a shadow of 8 feet long?
28 feet
When the angle of elevation to the sun is 26 degrees a flagpole casts a shadow that is 82 feet long. How tall is the flag pole?
It is nearly 40 feet
How tall is a flagpole that casts a shadow 28 feet long when a man 4 feet tall casts a shadow 8 feet long?
The flagpole is 14 feet tall - all of the shadows (at that particular time of day) are twice the length of the object. You can compare any values at that time, and the ratios are the same: x/ 28 = 4/8 (= 1/2) x = 14
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.

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.
A 10-meter high flagpole casts a shadow 6 meters long How long is the shadow of a nearby bush that is 3 meters tall?
1.8 meters. The ratio of object to shadow is 10:6. Therefore if the object is 3, the shadow is 1.8 ( 6/10x3).
What is the geometric figure of shadow of a flagpole?

A flagpole casts a shadow 102 feet long a 6ft talk man casts a shadow 17ft long How tall is the flagpole?

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.
When will an upright flagpole cast no shadow?
When the light source is directly over it or at night.
How does the shadow of a flagpole changes throughout the day?
The positioning of the sun throughout the day.
How does a flagpole shadow change over a year?
answ 2. Due to the travel of the earth around its (non-circular) path on the ecliptic; and the tilt of the Earth's axis, the path of the (say) tip of the flagpole will not repeat exactly until a year has passed. The path of the shadow of this 'flagpole gnomon' will describe a passage known as the Equation of Time.This you can look up in an encyclopedia or a search engine.
