20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given pictorial representation below,

The Height of the Pole =|AB|

The Height of the Person =|DE|

Shadow cast by the Pole =|AC|

Shadow cast by the Person =|EC|

Triangles ABC and DEC are similar triangles therefore,

$\frac{|DE|}{|AB|} =\frac{|EC|}{|AC|}$

$\frac{6}{x} =\frac{1.5}{5}$

Cross multiplying

x X 1.5 = 6 X 5

x=30/1.5 =20 feet

Height of the flag pole = 20 feet

No. of Persons= 16

Step-by-step explanation:

There was a one phone line

Average no of people calling = 60 in one hour

% of all callers at most can get busy signal

Probability < 0.6

Probability for less than 1 person on hold = 0.2642

No of persons = 0.2642(60)

= 15.852 or 16

16 persons in hour the company is able to put on hold
