If the boy is 5' 6" tall and his shadow is 4 ft. and the shadow of the flagpole is 18 ft., determine the height of the flagpole (to the nearest tenth).

The height of flagpole (to the nearest tenth) is, 24.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of the flagpole.

Given: Height of the boy is 5' 6" , the length of the shadow of boy = 4 ft and the shadow of length of flagpole is 18 ft.

Use conversion: 1 ft = 12 in

Now, convert the height of the boy from feet and inches to feet, using above conversion.

5' 6" =

Now, we write the ratio of the height and the length as:

then;

Multiply both sides by 18 we get;

Simplify:

Therefore, the height of flagpole to the nearest tenth is, 24.7 ft
