<h2>Answer:</h2>

the pole is 22 feet long

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Multiply the length of the flagpole's shadow by meagan's height, and then divide the resulting number by the length of her shadow.

For example, if you are 5 feet tall, your shadow is 8 feet long, and the tree's shadow is 100 feet long, the height of the tree is (100 x 5) / 8 = 62.5 feet.

I hope its right because I kind of took a good guess. If ur not sure with my answer then i suggest u dont put it unless u are.
