A pole's shadow measures feet when the shadow of a yardstick right next to the pole measures 15 inches How tall is the pole?
It depends exactly how long the shadow of the pole is... multiply whatever it is by 36/15 to get the answer.
How is a tree that casts a 28-ft shadow at the same time a 4-ft pole casts a shadow which is 9-ft long?
The height of the tree is in direct proportion to the pole and its shadow
The shadow of a telephone pole is 20 feet long. you can measure the angle of elevation from the end to the shadow to the top of the telephone pole to be 70. what is the height of the telephone pole Ro?
Height of telephone pole: 20*tan(70) = 55 feet rounded
If a tree 10 feet tall casts a shadow 5 feet long how long is the shadow cast by a pole 12 feet tall?
6 feet
How high is a tree that cast a 24ft shadow at the same time an 8ft pole cast a shadow which is 12ft long?
For pole: ratio of shadow to pole = 12/8 = 1.5 So, for tree, ration = 1.5 24/H = 1.5 so H = 24/1.5 = 16 ft
What is the length of the shadow cast by a 63 foot high pole if a 27 foot high pole casts an 18 foot shadow?
If a 27 ft tall pole casts an 18 foot shadow, a 63 ft tall pole casts an x foot shadow.Put 27/18 and 63/x.Cross multiply, get 27x=1134Divide by 27 on both sides, a 63 foot tall pole casts a 42 foot long shadow.
A pole is 20 feet long its shadow is 7.5 feet long if you draw a line from the tip of the pole to the tip of the shadow how long will the line be?
Assuming the ground is flat, you can apply Pythagoras's theorem and: length = sqrt(202 + 7.52) = sqrt(456.25) = 21.36 feet (approx).
How high is a tree that casts a 33 ft shadow at the same time a 5 ft pole casts a shadow which is 12 ft long?
(12 / 5) × 33 = 79.2 feet high Divide the pole shadow by the pole height: (12 / 5) = 2.4 feet Times the 2.4 by the tree shadow of 33 feet: 2.4 x 33 = 79.2
Measure the height of building 6 ft pole in shadow of building and covers shadow of building distance between pole and building 182ft pole cast shadow of 5.25ft how tall is building?
208 ft pole
A man is standing near a totem pole the man is 74 inches tall and his shadow is 4 ft long The shadow of the totem pole is 6 ft long how tall is it?
The sunlight's vertical angle to the man (standing straight) and to the totem pole is the same. Therefore the length of their shadows (one side of a right triangle) to their heights (the other side) will have the same ratio.Man is 74 inches tall, shadow is 4 feet.Totem Pole is X inches tall, shadow is 6 feet (1.5 times as long)74 inches x 1.5 = 111 inches, the height of the totem pole (9' 3" tall).
How high is a tree that cast a 24-foot shadow at the same time a 8-foot pole casts a shadow which is 11-foot long?
17.45 feet.
