If a flagpole casts a shadow of 7.7m and a meter stick casts a shadow of 1.4m how tall is the flagpole?

To find the height of the flagpole, you can use the concept of similar triangles. The ratio of the height of the flagpole to the length of its shadow should equal the ratio of the height of the meter stick (1 meter) to its shadow (1.4 meters). Therefore, the height of the flagpole can be calculated as follows: [ \text{Height of flagpole} = \frac{7.7 , \text{m}}{1.4 , \text{m}} \times 1 , \text{m} \approx 5.5 , \text{m}. ] Thus, the flagpole is approximately 5.5 meters tall.
