An office building 55ft tall casts a shadow 30ft long How tall is a person standing nearby who casts a shadow of 3 ft long?
From the given information, we see that the building and its shadow form a right triangle with base 30 ft and height 55 ft.Also, the person and his/her shadow form another similar triangle with base 3 ft and height x ft.Since both triangles are similar, we have:x/55 = 3/30 orx/55 = 1/10 cross multiply10x = 55 divide by 10 to both sidesx = 5.5Thus the person is 5.5 inches tall.
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
An 11 m tall sign cast a 19 m shadow when the shadow of a boy standing next to it is 3 m long to the nearest tenth of a meter how tall is the boy?
Let x be the height of the boy and seeing that they both have the same tangent ratio so it must follow that: x/3 = 11/19 Multiply both sides by 3 and then divide the product by 19: x = 1.736842105 Therefore height of boy = 1.7 meters to the nearest tenth.
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
What is the measure of the angle between the end of the shadow and the vertical side of a 170ft building that cast a 40 ft long shadow?
Using trigonometry the angle of elevation is 77 degrees rounded to the nearest degree
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)
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 pole that is 2.6m tall casts a shadow that is 1.51m long At the same time a nearby building casts a shadow that is 42.25m long round your answer to the nearest meter How tall is the building?
Let x = the height of the building. So we have, x/2.6 = 42.25/1.51 x = (2.6)(42.25)/1.51 x =72.75 Thus, the building is 72.75 meter tall.

If you standing at the South Pole will your shadow be longer or shorter?
If you are standing at the South Pole, your shadow will be non-existent during the summer solstice when the sun is directly overhead. During other times of the year, your shadow will be longer compared to standing at other latitudes due to the angle of the sun in relation to the Earth's surface. The length of your shadow will vary depending on the time of day and the season.
When a person experiences the third stage or a total eclipse where is he standing?
He's standing in the umbra of the lunar shadow.
How long does a shadow last?
as long as your'e standing in sunlight
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.
When a person experience third stage or a total solar eclipse where is he standing?
He's standing in the umbra of the lunar shadow.
A Man is standing next to a building that is 53 feet 3 inches tall The building casts a shadow 30 feet long and the man casts a shadow 40 inches long How tall is the man in feet and inches?
It sounds like a homework question, so I am going to act like a tutor. What you need to do is convert the height of the building and the shadow into inches. Fifty three feet three inches is equal to how many inches? 30 feet is equal to how many Inches? Then all you have to do is figure out the ratio (larger number divided by smaller number in this case) and multiply that by the height of the shadow of the man) Then you might want to convert back into feet and inches. Hint: the building is taller than its shadow, so the man also will be taller than his shadow.
