This activity is about measuring the height of the pole with the shadow of the pole, but there was no shadow so we used the back-up plan. We took a photo of Hari standing next to the pole. Then we measured how tall is Hari in photo and how tall he is in real life.
We set up a proportion, Hari in the photo to the pole in the photo, and real life Hari to x. In that way, we could get around how tall the pole is.
The proportion:
4.5/15=164/x
15x164/4.5=x 2460/4.5=546.66666..
x=546.6..
