The tree is 12.5 feet in height
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
It is: 27.35 degrees rounded to two decimal places
The sunlight's vertical angle to the man (standing straight) and to the totem pole is the same. Therefore the length of their shadows (one side of a right triangle) to their heights (the other side) will have the same ratio.Man is 74 inches tall, shadow is 4 feet.Totem Pole is X inches tall, shadow is 6 feet (1.5 times as long)74 inches x 1.5 = 111 inches, the height of the totem pole (9' 3" tall).
32
It works out as 15 feet
Let the height of the tree be x: x/10 = 5/4 x = 50/4 The tree is 12.5 feet
1. How high is a flagpole that casts a shadow of 45 ft at the same time a woman 5.5 ft tall casts a shadow 10 ft?
it is 10ft tall.
10ft
10ft tall because she is a giant
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
It is approx 36.6 ft.
4.5 ft
10 Feet
10ft 5 inches
5'8''
This completely depends on the positioning of the light source that is casting the shadow. Theoretically, a 6' woman could cast no shadow or could cast an infinite shadow.
