Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Steve is 6 feet tall and his shadow is 9 feet long we can do 9÷6=1.5 then 30÷1.5=20 so 20 is the answer (also I got it right on the test)

The height of the flagpole is 20 feet.

Suppose that we've got two quantities with measurements as 'a' and 'b'

Then, their ratio(ratio of a to b) a:b

Given;

The Length of flagpole shadow = 30 ft

The Steve height = 6 ft

The Length of Steve height shadow = 9 ft

The height and shadow length of the two follows the same ratio, just like similar triangles;

The height of flagpole/flagpole shadow length = height of Steve / Steve shadow height

Substituting the values;

h/30 = 6/9

h = 6/9 × 30 = 20 ft

Thus, the Flagpole height is 20 ft.
