Refer to the diagram below for the sketch of the position of the mirror, Michelle, and the flagpole.
Using similar triangle concept, to find the height of the flagpole, we first need to find out the scale factor of the horizontal distance.
We write this as ratio
Mirror to Michelle : Mirror to Flagpole
12ft : 48ft
1 : 4
So the ratio of the height is
Michelle : Flagpole
1 : 4
5ft : 20ft
