Where is the sun when a tree is 60 ft and casts a shadow 60 ft?

Since the height of the tree and the length of the shadow are the same and the tree makes a 90 angle with the ground, then a 45 45 90 triangle is created. So the sun must be at a 45 degree angle below the horizontal.

How tall is a man that casts a shadow at the same time a 40 ft building casts a 60 ft shadow?
If the building casts a shadow, then the sun is out, and any man who is not standing in theshadow of the building will cast a shadow of his own, no matter how short or tall he may be.(If you had told us the length of the man's shadow, it would have been a completely differentquestion, and we could have had a completely different answer to offer in response.)
A 60-foot -tall flagpole casts a 42-foot long shadowat the same time of daywhat would be the length of a shadow cast by an 18-foot-tall building?
The lenght of the shadow will be 12.6 ft
How tall is a tree which cast a 20 meter shadow when a 3 meter post cast a 5 meter shadow?
They both have the same tangent ratios so let the height of the tree be x:- x/20 = 3/5 Multiply both sides by 20 x = 60/5 The tree is 12 meters tall

56 feet.

A tree is 24 feet tall and casts a shadow of 10 feet At the same time a tower casts a shadow of 25 feet What is the height in feet of the tower?
50 ft. tall you can use a proportion.10/25=20/x10x/10=500/10x=50Improved Answer:Let the height be x:x/25 = 24/10Multiply both sides by 25:x = 600/10Height of tower = 60 feetThis problem can also be solved through trigonometry because the tangent ratio works out as 67.38013505 degrees.
