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.
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.
What is the height in feet of a flagpole which casts a 6-foot shadow when a 6-foot man cast a 3-foot shadow?
Using trigonometry its height is 12 feet

How high is a wall that cast a 13ft shadow at the same time that a 5ft flagpole cast a 5ft shawdow?
To find the height of the wall, we can use the concept of similar triangles. The ratio of the height of the flagpole to its shadow is the same as the ratio of the height of the wall to its shadow. Therefore, we set up the proportion: ( \frac{5 \text{ ft}}{5 \text{ ft}} = \frac{h}{13 \text{ ft}} ). Solving for ( h ), we find that the height of the wall is 13 ft.

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 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.

Suppose you know the height of a flagpole on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay and that you know the length of its shadow How do you calculate the angle of elevation?
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
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 tall is a flagpole that casts a shadow of 35 feet long with a man 6 feet tall who cast a shadow of 8 feet long?
The height of the flagpolle is 26.25 feet
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
If a 30 foot flagpole casts a 12 foot shadow how tall is a mailbox casting a 18 inch shadow?
First find the angle of elevation by using the tangent ratio formula:tangent = opposite (the flagpole)/adjacent (the shadow)tangent = 30/12 = 68.19859051 degreesThen rearrange the formula to find the height of the mailbox:height of mailbox = 18*tangent 68.19859051 = 44.99999......Therefore: height of mailbox = 45 inches to the nearest inch.Or,Since we have two similar right triangles whose legs are the 30 feet flagpole and its 12 feet shadow, the length x of mailbox and its 18 inches shadow, we have:18 in/x = 12 ft/30 ft (cross multiply)(12)(x) = (30)(18 in)12x = 540 in (divide by 12 to both sides)x = 45 in
