What would the length of shadow cast by a pole be if the incident rays of the sun were direct?

I am not sure what you mean by "direct" - light tends to travel in a straight line. The length of the shadow depends on the length of the pole, and of the height of the Sun.

no but if they did shadow would probley like her
Where would a shadow fall on a winter morning?
In the UK, the shadow is likely to fall (point) towards West-north-west.
What would you expect a scatter plot that compares length of hair to height to look like?
the scatter plot would look all messed up and hard to follow.
Where in the plot structure would the writer most likely put the inciting incident?
You need the inciting incident early in the story, so usually in the exposition or rising action.
In Teen Titans the animated series is the shadow part of Raven's hood or is it created by her hood?
The shadow is caused by her hood. I don't know how it would be part of her hood...
Area where no direct seismic waves from a particular earthquake can be traced?
This, would be knows as the Shadow Zone.
what causes shadow length?
The length of an object's shadow is determined by ... -- the length of the object, -- the angle between the object's length and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the distance between the object and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the angular size of the light source as seen from the object, -- the angle between the direction to the light source and the normal to the object.
How long in feet would the shadow be for an object which is 20.7 feet tall?
The length of the shadow depends not only on the height of the object, but also on how high the Sun is in the sky.
Why are shadows cast on the ground?
A shadow is a place where direct light has been blocked from reaching in the presence of direct light around it. Because most direct light is received from the sun, the shadow is cast on the ground. The light would normally have reached the ground, but something (a person, a building, a cloud, etc.) blocked the light between the sun and the ground resulting in a shadow.
Does the position of the torch would affect the length of the shadow cast by the pencil?
i think yes as try it yourself
What would be the length of the shadow of a 24 ft tree when a 40 ft tree casts a 16 ft shadow?
You have two similar triangles with one side the tree, and another the shadow Using the side with the tree, the ratio of the length of the triangles can be found: the triangles are in the ratio of 24 : 40 Thus divide the shadow of the 40ft tree by 40 to find out the length of shadow per foot of tree, and multiply this by 24 to find the length of the shadow of the 24 ft tree. This can be done by using the ratio as a fraction 24/40: → the shadow of the 24 ft tree is 16 ft × 24/40 = 9.6 ft
What size is a shadow in the middle of the day?
That depends on how big the object is, the time of year, and the location you are. obviously, the size would make a difference, the season determines the tilt of the earth changing the shadow length. if you were in Africa at midday, your shadow would be short since the sun is directly overhead. if you were in Antarctica at noon, the sun would be lower to the ground thus creating a longer shadow.
What properties of similar triangles are useful for estimating distances and heights?
The base length of both triangles. The base using the shadow method would be the shadow. The base using the mirror method would be from the object to the center of the mirror.
A pillar 6 feet tall casts a shadow 3 feet long on the ground If the pillar was 10 feet tall how many feet in length would the shadow be?
37.2 ft
What time would it be in California if the shadow of a 6' man standing on level ground in Greece was 13' long?
Since the length of a shadow depends not only on the time of day but also the latitude and season, it is not possible to answer the question.
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 tool do you use to measure the height of a school?
(1) One way would be to have a stick, stuck vertically into the ground. Measure the length of the shadow and the length of the stick. The actual height of the stick will be a ratio of the shadow's length. Then measure the length of the school's shadow. The height of the school in comparison with its shadow length will be same ratio as the height of the stick compared to its shadow length. You could use a tape measure for this. And possibly a calculator, which will make the calculation easier than doing it by long arithmetic or mental arithmetic. (2) Another way would be to use something that can tell you, from a short distance away from the school, the angle between the top of the school and the ground. A sextant can do this. It is more accurate than using a protractor. Using trigonometry and the distance from the building to where you are standing, you will be able to calculate the height of the school, because it will be at right angles to the line from you to the school. If you don't know trigonometry, method (1) will be easier.
