A5 foot tall man casts a shadow that is 4.9 feet long. If the shadow of a flag pole is 7 feet long, how tall is the
flag pole?
The flag pole is
feet tall.

Answer 1

First take the persons height divided by the persons shadow.

Then take the poles height / shadow length equals to 1.02
h / 7 = 1.02
Multiply both sides by 7
h = 7.14 ft
