I don’t know fr but here is a theory.
12ft=50ft shadow
Then,6ft=25ft shadow
So 3 quarters =75
Therefore you do 3•6
3•6=18
Posible answer: 18ft pole:75ft shadow

Answer:

pole is 18ft long

Explanation:

12ft tree/50ft shadow=Xft pole/75ft shadow

cross multiply to solve for x

(12ft tree/50ft shadow)*75ft shadow=Xft pole
