A 6-foot-tall man is standing in front of a school and notices his shadow measures 10 feet. At the same time, he notices a nearby flagpole casts a shadow that measures 85 feet.

Question

How tall is the flagpole?

100 feet
127 feet
14.17 feet
51 feet

Answer 1

since the height : shadow ratio is the same,
h/85 = 6/10
now just solve for h.

Answer 2

I got 51 thanks for the help!!!
