How do you use shadow method to estimate height or distance?
Measure height and shadow af a smaller object --- call these h1 and s1 measure the shadow of something larger like a tree. call this s2 its height is the unknown call it h2 use a proportion to solve the problem h1/s1 = h2/s2 substitute in the measured amounts, rearrange the equation (proportion) and find the answer.
To obtain the height of a tree you measure the tree's shadow and find that it is 8 meters long the shadow of a two-meter lamppost and find that it is 75 centimeters long how tall is the tree?
-67
How do you find the approximate height of a monument when the shadow is 500 ft and the flagpole is 40 ft and the shadow 36ft?
They both share the same tangent ratio so let the height of the monument be x: 500/x = 40/36 Solving the above equation gives x a value of 450 which is the height in feet.
When is our height shorter to our shadow?
When the sun is low down, the shadow is longer. If the sun is high up the shadow is shorter.
What is the height of a building that cast a 105' shadow when a 6' man casts a 14' shadow?
Height of building/105 = 6/14 Multiply both sides by 105: Height = 630/14 Height = 45 feet
How can you find the height of tree?
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
Is your shadow always the same height?
NO.
What is the Height of Shadow the hedgehog?
3'6"
Describe three factors that determine the size of a shadow and explain how each one cam make the shadow larger or smaller?
The height of the object casting the shadow, the height of the sun in the sky, what angle you are at when looking at the shadow.

At a certain time of day the angle of elevation of the sun is 30 degree A tree has a shadow that is 25 feet long Find the height of the tree to the nearest foot?
Tan60= 25/Height. Height = 25/Tan60 = 14.43
How to find the height of the sun?
It can be found out through applying Sine/Cosine/tan to the angles of for example a shadow of a building due to sun.
How can you calculate height of a pyramid by measuring the length of its shadow?
By means of trigonometry if you know the angle of elevation or by comparing it with a nearby object if you know its height and shadow length.
