Answer:
Height of pole = 22.67 ft or 272 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
I've drawn a triangle to depict the poles height, it's shadow, Joe's height and shadow and attached it.
From the image attached, we can see the height of the pole is depicted as x.
Now, the sum of the distance Joe walked along the pole shadow and his own shadow = 25 + 9 = 34 ft
Now, by similar triangles ratio, we can find x. Thus;
x/6 = 34/9
Making x the subject, we have;
x = (34 × 6)/9 ft
x = 22.67 ft or 272 inches
