How do you find the elevation of the sun?
WARNING: Do not, under any conditions, look at the sun, directly or indirectly.The find the elevation of the sun, measure the angle that an object's shadow from the sun makes. One way to do this is with a stick in the ground. Assuming the stick is perpendicular to the ground, the ratio of the stick's length to the shadow's length is the tangent of the angle of elevation. Solve for inverse tangent, and you have the angle.
The top of a billboard is 40 feet above the ground What is the angle of elevation of the sun when the billboard casts a 30 foot shadow on level ground?
tan-1(40/30) = 53.13° Therefore, the sun is at a 53.13° angle of elevation.
Where does it NOT snow in Arizona?
Any low elevation areas, most notably Phoenix and the surrounding "Valley of the Sun".
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°
100 ft height tree casts a shadow that is 130 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun?
Angle of elevation: tan-1(100/130) = 37.6 degrees rounded to one decimal place
A flagpole is 25 meters long the angle of elevation of the sun is 40 degrees. how tall is the flag pole?
21metres
How do you find the Angle Of Sun When Tree Is 6.25m And The Shadow Is 10.1m Long?
Use the tangent angle of elevation which works out as 31.7497 degrees to four decimal places
At 10 am on April 26 2000 a building 300 feet high casts a shadow 50 feet long What is the angle of elevation of the sun?
Angle of elevation = 300/50 = 6 tan-1(6) = 80.53767779 degrees or 800 32' 15.64''
What is the angle of elevation to the nearest degree of the sun if a 54 foot flagpole casts a shadow 74 feet long?
36 degrees
A tree 100ft tall casts a shadow 120ft long.Find the angle of elevation of the sun?
tan(A) = 120/100 =39.81 degrees
What is the angle of elevation of the sun with the ground when the pole 7.6 meters casts a shadow 6.1 meters long?
Required angle has a tangent of 7.6/6.1 ie 1.249. This is 51.25 degrees.
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''
