Set up a proportion:

The 4 foot pole casts a 5 foot shadow is written as 4/5

Let the height of the flagpole = x.

The flag pole casts a 16 foot shadow so it is written as X/16


Now set the two proportions equal to each other:

4/5 = X/16


Solve for X by cross multiplying:


5X = 64

Divide both sides by 5:

X = 64/5

X = 12.8


The flag pole is 12.8 feet tall.
