14 feet
What is the measure of the angle between the end of the shadow and the vertical side of a 170ft building that cast a 40 ft long shadow?
Using trigonometry the angle of elevation is 77 degrees rounded to the nearest degree
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.
How do you find the Angle Of Sun When Tree Is 6.25m And The Shadow Is 10.1m Long?
Use the tangent angle of elevation which works out as 31.7497 degrees to four decimal places
What is the definition of shadow angle?
the angle at which a shadow is formed
Suppose you know the height of a flagpole on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay and that you know the length of its shadow How do you calculate the angle of elevation?
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation

14 feet
Why does the length and position of my shadow change as I walk towards a lamppost and away from the lamppost?
Light leaves the lamp and travels in straight lines from its point source. As you move away from the source, the angle between you and the light changes and this the length and position of your shadow changes.
How can you find the height of tree?
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
How tall is a flag pole if the shadow is 15 feet?
That depends on the angle of elevation which has not been given.
How do you find the elevation of the sun?
WARNING: Do not, under any conditions, look at the sun, directly or indirectly.The find the elevation of the sun, measure the angle that an object's shadow from the sun makes. One way to do this is with a stick in the ground. Assuming the stick is perpendicular to the ground, the ratio of the stick's length to the shadow's length is the tangent of the angle of elevation. Solve for inverse tangent, and you have the angle.
A woman casts a shadow that is 8.8 feet long how tall is the woman?
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
What is the measure of the angle between the end of the shadow and the vertical side of a 170ft building that cast a 40 ft long shadow?
Using trigonometry the angle of elevation is 77 degrees rounded to the nearest degree
How do you find the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow of a 12 foot flag pole to the top of the pole is 60 degrees?
is that the entire question because you already gave the angle, meaning you now have every angle for the triangle created by the pole and shadow
