At a certain time of day the angle of elevation of the sun is 30 degree A tree has a shadow that is 25 feet long Find the height of the tree to the nearest foot?
Tan60= 25/Height. Height = 25/Tan60 = 14.43
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
What is the height of the telephone pole if shadow is 20 feet long and the angle of elevation from the groung if 70 degrees?
Using the tangent ratio height of telegraph pole is 55 feet to the nearest integer.
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
When is the shadow equal in length to your height?
When the angle of elevation equals 45 degrees. tan-1(1) = 45 degrees.

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
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.
What is the height of the telephone pole if shadow is 20 feet long and the angle of elevation from the groung if 70 degrees?
Using the tangent ratio height of telegraph pole is 55 feet to the nearest integer.
How can you find the height of tree?
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
The shadow of a vertical tower is 58 feet long when the angles of elevation of the sun is 36 degrees. what is the height of the tower to the nearest foot?
tan(36) = H/58 where H is the height of the tower. So H = 58*tan(36) = 42 feet.
If a tree casts a shadow of fifteen meters long how tall is the tree?
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
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
How tall is a building with a 73 ft shadow when elevation of the sun is 31 degrees?
(Height of the building)/(length of the shadow) = tangent of 31° .Height = 73 tan(31°) = 43.9 feet (rounded)
When is the shadow equal in length to your height?
When the angle of elevation equals 45 degrees. tan-1(1) = 45 degrees.
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
