A tree 100ft tall casts a shadow 120ft long.Find the angle of elevation of the sun?
tan(A) = 120/100 =39.81 degrees
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 angle of elevation of the sun if Rolando who is 170cm tall casts a shadow of 200cm long?
It is tan-1(170/200) = 40.365 degrees to 3 decimal places
How could you measure the height of a tree at noon when the sun is directly overhead and the tree casts no shadow?
Your best bet here would be to use trigonometry. One stand a given distance away from the tree and sight the top of the tree, say with a clinometer, to measure the angle of elevation. Then knowing the angle and the distance you are from the tree, the height of the tree can be calculated with a tangent function.
What is the height of a flagpole that casts a 40 foot shadow?
To calculate that, you'd need to know the angle of the light source or the time of day or have some other object to compare it to.
If the angle of elevation of the sun is 53 degrees when a flagpole casts a shadow of 12 m then the height of the flagpole is?
The flagpole is 15.92 metres, approx.
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
A woman casts a shadow that is 8.8 feet long how tall is the woman?
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
How tall is a boy that casts a 4 ft shadow?
The height of a boy that casts a 4 foot long shadow depends on the angle of the sun. A tangent can be used to calculate his height if we know the angle of the sun using the equation: Height = shadow length x tangent of the angle of the sun. Using a calculator, it is easy to get the value of the tangent for any angle and then complete the equation.
When the angle of elevation to the sun is 52 degrees a tree casts a shadow that is 9 meters long what is the height of the tree?
It is: tan(52)*9 = 11.519 meters rounded to three decimal places
If the angle of elevation of the sun is 52.6 degrees and the height of a building is 18.6m the building casts a shadow of 12.3m 14.2m 16.4m 14.9m or none of those?
18.6 m/52.6 degrees tan= 14.2
What is the angle of elevation of the sun when a woman 1.5 meters tall casts a shadow of 2.9 meter shadow?
It is: 27.35 degrees rounded 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
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
A tree 100ft tall casts a shadow 120ft long.Find the angle of elevation of the sun?
tan(A) = 120/100 =39.81 degrees
A tree casts a shadow of 23 meters when the angle of elevation of the sun is 23 Find the height of tree to the nearest meter?
Use the tangent ratio: 23*tan(23) = 9.762920773 Answer: 10 meters to the nearest meter
