Use the tangent ratio:
tan = 93/26 = 74.38 degrees to 2 d.p.

What is the angle of elevation to the nearest degree of the sun if a 54 foot flagpole casts a shadow 74 feet long?
36 degrees
If a tree 17 feet tall casts a shadow 12 feet long how high is a building that casts a shadow 19 feet long?
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 tree is 18 feet tall and casts a shadow 6 feet long A nearby sign casts a 3 foot shadow What is the height of the sign?
A 1 foot shadow I think.
A vertical pole 5 feet long casts a shadow of 2 feet if at the same time a nearby tree casts a shadow of 10 feet how tall is the tree?
The tree is 25 feet tall. A 5 foot pole cast a 2 foot shadow. This means that the sun angle causes the shadow to be 2/5 the length of the object casting it. The tree's shadow is 10 feet tall. Multiply 10 feet by 5/2 (inverting the fraction because we're going the other way) and we get 25 feet.
A flagpole casts a shadow 102 feet long a 6ft talk man casts a shadow 17ft long How tall is the flagpole?
It works out as: 42.353 feet tall rounded to 3 decimal places
A woman casts a shadow that is 8.8 feet long how tall is the woman?
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
When the angle of elevation to the sun is 26 degrees a flagpole casts a shadow that is 82 feet long. How tall is the flag pole?
It is nearly 40 feet
What is the angle of elevation to the nearest degree of the sun if a 54 foot flagpole casts a shadow 74 feet long?
36 degrees
When the angle of elevation on of the sun is 75 degree a building casts shadow of 125 feet how tall is the degree?
If you mean the height of the building then it works out as 466.5063509 feet
The light from a lamppost casts a shadow of a man who is standing 10 feet away from the lamppost. The man's shadow is 5 feet long. The angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the lamp is 50 d?
The man is 5.96 feet tall and the lamp is 17.88 feet high.
At 10 am on April 26 2000 a building 300 feet high casts a shadow 50 feet long What is the angle of elevation of the sun?
Angle of elevation = 300/50 = 6 tan-1(6) = 80.53767779 degrees or 800 32' 15.64''
The top of a billboard is 40 feet above the ground What is the angle of elevation of the sun when the billboard casts a 30 foot shadow on level ground?
tan-1(40/30) = 53.13° Therefore, the sun is at a 53.13° angle of elevation.
If a 34-foot tree casts a shadow of 101 feet what is the angle of elevation of the sun?
-67
How tall is the tree if it casts a shadow 30 feet long when the angle of the sun is 32 degrees?
If the angle of elevation is 32 degrees then using the tangent ratio in trigonometry the height of the tree is 18.75 feet rounded up to two decimal places
What is the height of the tree if it casts a shadow 146 feet long?
It depends on the time of day because the angle of the sun will determine the shadow length
A lamp pole casts a shadow 49 feet long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 44.8 degrees Find the height of the lamp pole?
A pole casting a shadow 49 feet long with an angle of elevation of the sun of 44.8 degrees is 50 feet tall. (47.98 rounded to two places)Tangent (theta) = opposite / adjacentTangent (44.9) = X / 49X = 47.98This does not take into account the curvature of the earth, but the error in this example is inconsequential, specifically an elevation error of about 0.015 percent.
How tall is a flag pole if the shadow is 15 feet?
That depends on the angle of elevation which has not been given.
