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 flagpole casts a shadow 28 feet long a person standig nearby casts a shadow eight feet long if the person is six feet how tall is the flagpole?
21 ft how is the equation to give you this result
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
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

If a man 6 feet tall casts a shadow 8 feet long and a flagpole casts a shadow 32 feet long at the same time and location how tall is the flagpole?
The flagpole is 24 feet tall.Assuming their shadows align exactly, they form similar triangles andh/32 = 6/8Mutiply both sides by 32h = 192/8 = 24
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.
