25 feet
The pole is 5 feet long, and casts a shadow of 2 feet. The tree cast a shadow of 10 feet. That would meen 2 feet of shadow = 5 feet of object. 2 x 5 = 10. 5 x 5 = 25.

5/2 = x/10
Cross multiply
50 = 2x
x = 25

25 ft tall.
5/2 = x/10. so multiply 5x10, divide by 2, and you get 25 ft.

25 feet.
5ft actual height = 2ft shadow.
xft actual height = 10ft shadow.
Cross multiply and solve for x=25.

25 feet. Your not stupid your ignorant. When you don't know something, it's ignorance. Obviously the person who said you are stupid was probably told that herself. That's sad.
