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) = x
210/8 = x
x = 26.25 feet
21 ft how is the equation to give you this result
28 feet
It is nearly 40 feet
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
It is 90 feet in height

It works out as: 42.353 feet tall rounded to 3 decimal places
28 feet
35 feet tall.
The height of the flagpolle is 26.25 feet
84 feet tall
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
It is nearly 40 feet
36 degrees
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
It is approx 36.6 ft.
