What else can I help you with?
At a certain time of day a person 6 feet tall casts a 4-foot shadow How long is the shadow cast by a 21-foot tree at the same time?
Designate the unknown shadow length by s. Shadows cast at the same time and place are proportional to the height of the object casing the shadow. Therefore: 4/6 = s/21, or s = [4(21)]/6 = 14 feet.
Does the time of year make a difference to your shadow?
Yes, the time of year can affect the length of your shadow. In the summer, when the sun is higher in the sky, shadows are shorter compared to the longer shadows cast during winter when the sun is lower in the sky.
At any given time of the day the ratio of an object the length of its shadow is the same for all objects if a 5ft post casts a shadow of a 1.2ft find the length for a 17ft post?
Let the length of the shadow be x and use the tangent ratio: 5/1.2 = 17/x Make x the subject of the equation: x = (17*1.2)/5 x = 4.08 feet
A 60-foot -tall flagpole casts a 42-foot long shadowat the same time of daywhat would be the length of a shadow cast by an 18-foot-tall building?
The lenght of the shadow will be 12.6 ft
What happened during the equinoxes?
Night and day are the same length of time. The sun is at declination zero.
What will be the shadow length at 4 pm?
The answer depends on: the height of the item casting the shadow, the location on earth, the time of year, and the inclination of the surface on which the shadow is cast.
If you standing at the South Pole will your shadow be longer or shorter?
If you are standing at the South Pole, your shadow will be non-existent during the summer solstice when the sun is directly overhead. During other times of the year, your shadow will be longer compared to standing at other latitudes due to the angle of the sun in relation to the Earth's surface. The length of your shadow will vary depending on the time of day and the season.
A flagpole casts a ten meter shadow at the same time as a six meter statue beside it casts a two meter shadow What is the height of the flagpole?
The statue is 6/2 = 3 times the length of its shadow. The flagpole is 3 times its shadow ie the flagpole is 3*10 = 30 metres.
What will be the length of shadow of a 10 feet tall tree in afternoon?
It depends on what time in the afternoon.
Are the Earth's eras the same length?
No, the Earth's eras are not the same length. They vary in duration. The eras are typically distinguished by significant geological and paleontological changes that have occurred during each period of time.
What is the height of the tree if it casts a shadow 146 feet long?
It depends on the time of day because the angle of the sun will determine the shadow length
At what time is the shadow in front of you?
The shadow is in front of you when the sun is behind you, typically in the late morning or early afternoon. The length and direction of the shadow will vary depending on the position of the sun in the sky.
