If a tree casts a shadow of fifteen meters long how tall is the tree?
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
If the angle of elevation of the sun is 53 degrees when a flagpole casts a shadow of 12 m then the height of the flagpole is?
The flagpole is 15.92 metres, approx.
what is the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 32.4 m long?
If we assume the the flagpole makes a 90 degree angle with the ground, then the angle of elevator for the sun is 34.778°
When the shadow of a flagpole is 31.2m long a 1.6m fencepost casts a shadow 2.6m long how tall is the flagpole?
First, find the ratio of fencepost-height : shadow which is 1.6 : 2.6 . This can also be written as a fraction, 1.6/2.6 . Then, multiply the flagpole's shadow by this ratio: 31.2 x 1.6/2.6 = 19.2 The flagpole is 19.2m high. The trigonometry way: On the imaginary right angled triangle formed by the fencepost and its shadow, let the angle at which the hypotenuse meets the ground = θ sinθ = 1.6/2.6 sinθ = /31.2 x/31.2 = 1.6/2.6 2.6x = 31.2 * 1.6 = 49.92 x = 19.2 The flagpole is 19.2m high.
Find the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 34 m long?
Use the tangent ratio: tan = 22.5/34 = 45/68 tan-1(45/68) = 33.49518467 degrees Angle of elevation = 33o29'42.66''
If a tree 17 feet tall casts a shadow 12 feet long how high is a building that casts a shadow 19 feet long?
To cast a 19 foot shadow the building would have to be 26.91 feet tall. Each foot of building/tree casts 8.47 inches of shadow.
How tall is a man that casts a shadow at the same time a 40 ft building casts a 60 ft shadow?
If the building casts a shadow, then the sun is out, and any man who is not standing in theshadow of the building will cast a shadow of his own, no matter how short or tall he may be.(If you had told us the length of the man's shadow, it would have been a completely differentquestion, and we could have had a completely different answer to offer in response.)
A building casts a 52-foot shadow At the same time Tonya casts a 4-foot shadow Tonya and her shadow form a triangle that is similar to the triangle formed by the building and its shadow If Tonya?

If a tree casts a shadow of fifteen meters long how tall is the tree?
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
A 10 ft tree casts a 14 ft shadow If a building casts a 280 ft shadow how tall is the building?
You take 280 times 10 and then divide that by 14 which equals 200 ft.
A building casts a 52-foot shadow at the same time Tonya casts a 4-foot?

When a ferris wheel casts a 20-meter shadow a man 1.8 meters tall casts a 2.4 meter shadow How tall is the ferris wheel?
It works out as 15 feet
At 1100 am a one meter high mailbox casts a 0.4 meter shadow If a pole beside the mailbox casts a 16-meter shadow how tall is that pole?
40 meters
If your building casts a 280 ft shadow how tall is the building?
That varies depending on the height of the sun, whether the shadow is cast on a sloping surface and so forth.
A 10-meter high flagpole casts a shadow 6 meters long How long is the shadow of a nearby bush that is 3 meters tall?
1.8 meters. The ratio of object to shadow is 10:6. Therefore if the object is 3, the shadow is 1.8 ( 6/10x3).
A person 122 cm tall casts a 37 cm shadow at the same time a tree casts a 148 cm shadow. How tall is the tree?
488 cm
A man 6 feet tall casts a shadow 10 feet in length A nearby building casts a shadow that is 62 feet How tall is the building?
You can solve this with a simple inequality. 6/10 = x/62Solve for x and that gives you your answer. It comes out to be 37.2 feet.
