An eight foot high flagpole casts a six foot long shadow at 2pm. The field superintendent places a stake in the ground where the shadow ends. He ties a rope from the top of the pole to the stake.

Q1. How long would the rope measure if it is strung tight between the top of the pole and the stake?

Q2. By 6pm the shadow has gotten longer. The superintendent places a new stake in the ground. This time, the rope will measure 17 feet long when it is strung tight between the top of the pole and the stake. How long is the shadow now? (Show & explain)
