Answer:
9ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are proportional.
Let the height of the flag pole be x feet.
[tex] \frac{x}{6} = \frac{12}{8} [/tex]
We multiply both sides by 6 to get:
[tex]x = \frac{12}{8} \times 6[/tex]
We reduce the fraction to get:
[tex]x = \frac{3}{2} \times 6[/tex]
We now simplify
[tex]x = 3 \times 3[/tex]
[tex]x = 9ft[/tex]
