If a clock tower is 15 feet tall. How long is its shadow at 60 degree above the horizon. How do you work out the problem?

If the angle of elevation is 60 degrees then by using the tangent ratio the length of the shadow is 8.66 feet rounded to two decimal places.

Azimuth angle of 150 degree?
"Azimuth and Elevation" is a way of locating a geostationary satellite in the sky, based on your latitude & longitude. For the Seattle, Washington area, for example, the basic bird for Dish Network installs is at Azimuth 150, Elevation 34. So to locate the point in the sky where the bird is, you start with a compass heading of 150 degrees (which is 30 degrees East of due South) and then point up 34 degrees above the horizon.
How do you find the angle of the altitude of Polaris?
The angle of the altitude of Polaris is equal to the observer's latitude. However, this is only true if you are in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, at the North Pole it is directly overhead and at the equator it is on the horizon and at 45 degrees North it is 45 degrees above you.
Do shadows change during the day?
Yes. The shadows vary with how high above the horizon the Sun is. Close to the horizon = long shadows. Straight above = short shadow. Your powers of observation will show you that they do. Continuously.
How long does it take the sun to move one degree above below the horizon?
5 seconds
How many degrees is the north star above the horizon in seattle?
Seattle's latitude is about 47.6 degrees North. So the altitude of Polaris above the northern horizon is always within about 1/3 degree of that angle as seen from there.
How long is a 5 foot person's shadow in a 40 degrees angle?
If the sun is 40 degrees above the horizon, a 5-ft person casts a shadow 5ft 11.5in long (rounded)
If you look up at the north star and it is off the horizon 29degree's what is your latitude?
If the star Polaris is 29 degrees above the horizon, then your latitude is about 29 degrees North.Polaris is not exactly above the North Pole, but it is only about one-half degree away from that.
How long can a shadow be at ten zero zero am and it is not about time it is about the shadows?
The length of the shadow on flat, level ground is(the height of the object or person)/(tangent of the sun's angle above the horizon).The sun's angle above the horizon depends on the date and the location on Earth.Neither the height of the object or person, nor either of those, is specified in thequestion, which doesn't give me much to work with.
What is the shadow length of person who is 5'4?
That depends upon the time of day, which day of the year it is and where the person is. The shadow length depends upon the angle of the sun above the horizon: shadow_length = height_of_person ÷ TAN(angle_of_sun_above_horizon)
What is the layer above the A horizon?
top horizon
How tall is a nearby tree that casts a 13 foot 5 inch shadow?
It depends on the angle of the sun. The height of the tree is equal to the lenght of its shadow times the cotangent (or divided by the tangent) of the sun's angle above the horizon.
What determines the shape of a shadow?
the way that you stand determines the shape of a shadow.
When is the Shadow is shorter in morning or evening?
So long as the sun is the same height above the horizon your shadows will be the same length whether it is morning or evening.
