Answer:

51m

Step-by-step explanation:

-Paul is 6ft, and has a 10ft shadow. The pole has a 85ft shadow:

-Using ratios:

\frac{Height\ of \ object}{Height\ of \  shadow}

Let h be the height of the flagpole:

=>\frac{6}{10}=\frac{h}{85}\\\\h=\frac{6\times 85}{10}\\\\h=51

Hence, the height of the pole is 51m
