Answer:

The flagpole is 24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve.  Put the size of the object over the shadow size.

x ft flagpole           6 ft man

----------------   = -----------------

32 ft shadow       8 ft shadow

Cross multiply

8x = 32*6

8x = 192

Divide by 8

8x/8 = 192/x

x= 24 ft
