    The tall of the flag pole is 51 ft answer (A)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    ∵ The tall of the man = 6 ft

    ∵ The his shadow = 10 ft

    ∵ The shadow of the flag pole = 85 ft

    ∵ Tall of the man/tall of the flag = shadow of the man/shadow

    of the flag

    ∴ 6/x = 10/85 ⇒ where x is the tall of the flag

    ∴ x = (6 * 85) : 10 = 510 : 10 = 51 ft

    ∴ The tall of the flag pole is 51 ft
