The correct answer is B. 7.5
Similar polygons are polygons wherein its corresponding sides are proportional. All corresponding sides of the larger polygon are proportional to the corresponding sides to the smaller polygon, wherein segment HG is proportional to segment DC, and segment FG is proportional to segment BC. (See attachment for reference) A <span>proportion  is an equation that states two ratios are equivalent. By cross multiplying the two ratios, you get an equation for finding the value of z, which is 7.5</span>

A flagpole casts a shadow that is 12 ft long. A 6-ft tall man casts a shadow
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are proportional.

Let the height of the flag pole be x feet.

\frac{x}{6}  =  \frac{12}{8}

We multiply both sides by 6 to get:

x =  \frac{12}{8}  \times 6

We reduce the fraction to get:

x =  \frac{3}{2}  \times 6

We now simplify

x = 3 \times 3

x = 9ft
