The height of a flagpole is 8.5 meters tall. If the length of the meter stick shadow is 1.5 meters long, what would be the length of the flagpole's shadow?

Well, you could easily sow that for every full meter of height of the object, the length of the corresponding shadow would be 50 centimeters longer. therefore, you can multiply 8.50 meters by 1.5 and you would get an answer of 12.75 meters
