The flagpole is 15 feet in height. At any given moment of the day, all of the shadows that are cast by objects will have lengths that are equally proportional to the actual height of the object.

Since Blake's shadow is 20 feet long and he is actually 5 feet tall, actual heights are going to be one fourth (1/4) of the length of any shadow they cast, at that specific time of the day. 60 x (1/4) = 15 feet.

If a 30 foot flagpole casts a 12 foot shadow how tall is a mailbox casting a 18 inch shadow?

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.
