No way of telling, it depends on the angle of the sun.

Any height.

When the Sun is low, in the morning or evening close to the horizon, even a short object will cast a long shadow. When the Sun is directly overhead (at noon between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer) objects cast no shadow.

If you tell us your location and the time you are measuring then there would be a possibility of calculating an answer.

  • At noon on one of the equinoxes in Montpelier VT (or anywhere at the latitude of 45 degrees north or 45 degrees south) a 48 foot tall tree will cast a 48 foot shadow.

A tower casts a shadow 48 m long Tom is 2 meters tall and casts a shadow 8 meters long while standing in the tower's shadow How tall is the tower?

As the question is stated, Tom is standing IN THE TOWER'S SHADOW. If so, then Tom can't cast a shadow of his own, because he is not illuminated. Let's assume the question means to imply that Tom's shadow is measured AT THE SAME TIME that the shadow of the tower is measured, and kind of NEAR the tower, so that the sun casts both shadows from the same place in the sky. If this is a valid assumption, then the tower is 12 meters tall.

What are the steps to solving a proportion?

Confused? Don't be!!! Proprotions are easy once you understand them. :) Let's take a math problem:A baby giraffe casts a 3.2-foot shadow and an adult giraffe casts a 8-foot shadow. The adult is 15 feet tall.The easiest way is to think this: Put the shadow heights over the height of the giraffe. So the proportion is:3.2/x = 8/15 Cross multiply. (3.2 x 15) equals 48. (8 x (x) ) equals 8x.48 divided by 8 equals 6. 6 is the answer!!! :) now u are set for solving
