if a flagpole casts a shadow of 32 feet long and if a man 6 feet casts a 8 feet shadow at the same time and location how tall is the flagpole
We can solve this using a proportion
height of flagpole / length of the shadow it casts = height of man / length of shadow he casts ....so....
H / 32 = 6 / 8 cross-multiply
8H = 32 * 6
8H = 192 divide both sides by 8
H = 24 ft
