It is 2.4 ft high.The distance from the earth to the sun is sufficiently large so that the sun's beams can be assumed to be parallel. Also, it is necessary to assume that the ground over which the shadows are cast is level. Then the triangle formed by the apex of the tent, its base and the tip of its shadow can be shown to be similar to the triangle formed by the top of the box, its base and the tip of the shadow. Then, using equal rations, the box is 2.4 ft tall.
