The answer is 14 ft tall.

This can be solved using proportion:

Shalonda: 4ft Shadow: 8ft

Flagpole: x Shadow: 28

So we cross multiply and then divide to solve for X, or in other words, we transpose 28 ft to the other side of the equation to isolate x. Since it is division on one side, when you move it it will become multiplication.

The flagpole is 14 ft tall.
