Indirect Measurement: On a windy day, you notice another student outside in the front of the school whose jacket has been carried up to the top of the flagpole. As you watch this student attempt to climb the flagpole to retrieve their jacket you start to wonder exactly how tall the flagpole is. Since you have plenty of time to ponder as you are watching the student climb you begin to realize things… You notice that you are exactly 6 feet tall and you are currently casting (as your friend tells you by walking from heel to toe) a three foot shadow. You then figure out that the flagpole is casting an 18 foot shadow. Assuming that the sun’s rays are forming the same angle on you and the flagpole, what is the height of the flagpole?

A museum worker is attempting to check the dinosaur’s eyes. Unfortunately, the snout is too wide and he can not get a clear view. To get a better look, he places a mirror on the ground and uses the reflections. If the worker’s eyes are 5.5’ high and the mirror is 12’’ from the man and 2’ from the dinosaur, what is the height of the dinosaur?
