The height of flagpole is 49.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Shadow casted by streetlight = 2 foot

Height of streetlight = 9 feet

Ratio of shadow to height = 2:9

Shadow casted by flagpole = 11 foot

Let,

x be the height of flagpole

Ratio of shadow to height = 11:x

Using proportion

Ratio of shadow to height :: Ratio of shadow to height

2:9::11:x

Product of mean = Product of extreme

9*11=2*x\\99=2x\\2x=99

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{99}{2}\\x=49.5

The height of flagpole is 49.5 feet.
