<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The telephone pole is 20.8 foot tall.
<h2>Why?</h2>Since it's not mentioned, we can assume that both, man and the telephone pole are close, so, if two similar triangles are created, we know that both shadows are proportional and we can find the telephone pole height creating a proportionality relationship.
We can find the telephone pole height using the following equation,
Were,
Man height is 6 foot
Man shadow is 4.5 feet long
Telephone pole shadow is 15.6 feet long.
So, substituting we have:
So, the telephone pole is 20.8 foot tall.

<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
1017.88 square feet are blue.
<h2>Why?</h2>To calculate how many square feet are blue, we need to calculate the area of the bottom of the circular swimming pool.
We need to remember that we can calculate the area of any circle using the following formula:
Now, we know that the diameter of the bottom is equal to 36 feet, so, we can calculate the radius of the bottom using the following formula:
So,
Then, calculating the area we have:
Hence, we have that 1017.88 square feet are blue.
