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.)
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 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?

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 tower casts a shadow 48 m long Tom is 2 meters tall and casts a shadow 8 meters long while standing in the tower's shadow How tall is the tower?
As the question is stated, Tom is standing IN THE TOWER'S SHADOW. If so, then Tom can't cast a shadow of his own, because he is not illuminated. Let's assume the question means to imply that Tom's shadow is measured AT THE SAME TIME that the shadow of the tower is measured, and kind of NEAR the tower, so that the sun casts both shadows from the same place in the sky. If this is a valid assumption, then the tower is 12 meters tall.
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?
