Answer: The height of the flagpole is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the flagpole be 'H'.

So, from the figure, we can conclude that, the height and shadow of the flagpole is in proportion to the height and shadow of the stick.

Given:

Height of stick is,

Shadow of the stick is,

Shadow of the flagpole is,

Now, as these are in proportion, we have

Plug in the given values and solve for 'H'. This gives,

Hence, the height of the flagpole is 12 feet.

Ghella [55]

Hey!!!
Answer is....
diagonals of square bisect each other at right angles.
let diagonal be 2x
Using Pythagoras in a triangle enclosed by a side and 2 half diagonals...
${x}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {10}^{2}$
$2 {x}^{2} = 100$
${x }^{2} = 50$
$x = \sqrt{50}$
side of a diagonal=2 sqrt50
$= 10 \sqrt{2}$
