Answer:

36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that on level ground, a vertical rod 12 feet tall casts a shadow 4 feet long, and at the same time a nearby vertical flagpole casts a shadow 12 feet long.

To find the length of flagpole, we will use proportions as:

\frac{\text{Actual length of flagpole}}{\text{Shadow of flagpole}}=\frac{\text{Actual length of rod}}{\text{Shadow of rod}}

Substitute given values:

\frac{\text{Actual length of flagpole}}{12\text{ ft}}=\frac{12\text{ ft}}{4\text{ ft}}

\frac{\text{Actual length of flagpole}}{12\text{ ft}}\times 12\text{ ft}=\frac{12\text{ ft}}{4\text{ ft}}\times 12\text{ ft}

\text{Actual length of flagpole}=12\text{ ft}\times 3

\text{Actual length of flagpole}=36\text{ ft}

Therefore, the actual length of flagpole is 36 feet.

\frac{Actual}{Shadow} = \frac{Actual}{Shadow}
\frac{12}{4} = \frac{Actual₂}{12}
