Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
The flagpole is 15.92 metres, approx.
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°
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.
Earth casts the shadow.
Either the Moon casts its shadow on Earth, or the Earth casts its shadow on the Moon.
1. How high is a flagpole that casts a shadow of 45 ft at the same time a woman 5.5 ft tall casts a shadow 10 ft?
(35/7)*4 = 20 Ft.
A tree casts a large shadow.
2
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.
A 1 foot shadow I think.
The height of the tree is in direct proportion to the pole and its shadow

When the Earth casts a shadow on the Moon, the shape of the shadow is typically circular. This occurs during a lunar eclipse when the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking sunlight from reaching the Moon. The circular shadow results from the Earth's spherical shape, which consistently casts a round shadow regardless of its orientation.
