What is the measure of a flagpole?
The most accurate method for measuring the height of a flagpole is to use a surveyor’s theodolite to measure the angle of elevation and the distance from the base of the pole. With that information, you can calculate the height from the tangent of the angle of elevation.
What is the most likely the height of a flagpole?
Probable Pole Height A 20- to 25-foot pole is appropriate for a flag that is 4 feet by 6 feet. The pole size should continue to increase based on the flag size. A 50-foot pole works for a flag that measures 10 feet by 15 feet, while a 75- to 100-foot pole is necessary for a flag that is 15 feet by 25 feet.

How long should a flagpole be for a 3×5 flag?
6 ft
