How tall is a flagpole on ground level that casts a shadow 35 feet long with a man that stands 6 feet tall and he casts a shadow of 8 feet long?
28 feet
A flagpole casts a ten meter shadow at the same time as a six meter statue beside it casts a two meter shadow What is the height of the flagpole?
The statue is 6/2 = 3 times the length of its shadow. The flagpole is 3 times its shadow ie the flagpole is 3*10 = 30 metres.
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.

How tall is a tree that casts a 30 ft shadow at the same time an 18 ft pole casts a shadow that is 6 feet long?
It is 90 feet in height
A tree is twice as high as the length of the shadow it casts The distance from the tip of tree to the tip of the shadow is 8 feet What is the length of the shadow that the tree casts?
We can not tell because we do not know how straight the tree is or if the ground is perpendicular or level.
How tall is a flagpole on ground level that casts a shadow 35 feet long with a man that stands 6 feet tall and he casts a shadow of 8 feet long?
28 feet
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
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.)

What is a tool that shows the time of the day by position and length of the shadow the sun casts on a surface called?
Sundial is the term
How tall is a person that casts a 9 foot shadow?
Depends on the time of day (the angle of the sun). Think of the person as being at a right angle to the ground, and the shadow being the other side. The distance from the person's head to the end of the shadow is the hypotenuse. (a^2 + b^2= c^2) a= height of person, b= shadow. If you have the angle of the sun to the ground, you can use Sine/ Cosine to calculate the length.
How high is a tree that casts a 25ft shadow?
You need more information to solve this problem. The length of a shadow depends on the angle of the sun which depends on the time of day.
