Answer:

The pole is 6 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height makes the perpendicular and the shadow makes the base of the triangle in the given question

                                Pole                       Mary

Height                         x                            4

Shadows                    15                           10

If the height is taken along y- axis and shadow is taken along x axis

Then

tan alpha = Perpendicular/ base

for Mary    Tan alpha = 4/10

For the pole = tan alpha = x/15

Comparing      x/15= 4/10

x= 4*15/10= 60/10= 6

The pole is 6 feet tall.
