Answer:
The flagpole is 51ft tall
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for flagpole
Required
The height of the flagpole
To do this, we use the following equivalent ratios
[tex]h : 85 = 6 :10[/tex]
Where h is the required height
Express as fraction
[tex]\frac{h}{ 85} = \frac{6 }{10}[/tex]
Make h the subject
[tex]h = \frac{6 }{10} * 85[/tex]
[tex]h = \frac{6 * 85}{10}[/tex]
[tex]h = \frac{510}{10}[/tex]
[tex]h = 51[/tex]
