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.
The flag pole would be 20 feet. (You can see that the shadows are twice as long.) At a given time of the day, the length of a shadow cast by any object will have the same relationship to its actual height as all other objects. Here the ratio is 5/10 = x/40 and multiplying both sides by 40, 20 = x.
Height of flag pole: tangent(48.4) times 7.42 = 8.36 yards rounded to two decimal places
As a verb, raise or lift; as a dimension (of a flag) height (the side of the flag that lies alongside the pole is the hoist, and the part - usually the longer side - that extends to catch the breeze is the fly.

We can solve this problem using a ratio. Since a 6 foot man casts a 4 foot shadow we can write this ratio as 6:4. If we reduce this ratio we get 3:2. Now we're stating that for every 3 feet of height, the shadow cast will be 2 feet.Now we can work our problem out using a small table:3 feet of flag pole = 2 feet of shadow6 feet of flag pole = 4 feet of shadow9 feet of flag pole = 6 feet of shadow12 feet of flag pole = 8 feet of shadow15 feet of flag pole = 10 feet of shadow18 feet of flag pole = 12 feet of shadowTherefore an 18 foot flag pole will cast a 12 foot shadow at the same time that a 6 foot man casts a 4 foot shadow.

That depends on the angle of elevation which has not been given.

It is nearly 40 feet
