the triangle are similar not congruent. And SN corresponds to SG, so the proportion should be 1.5/8 = FG/40

OpenStudy (rose4825):

So the answer would be 7.5?

OpenStudy (rose4825):

Also, can you explain how you got 40 on the right side of the proportion?

OpenStudy (peachpi):

yes 7.5 meters. The flagpole's shadow is SG. SG = SN + NG = 8 + 32 = 40

OpenStudy (rose4825):

Can you check one more?

OpenStudy (peachpi):

ok
