The tree is 36.0 feet tall using the tangent ratio.
That depends on the height of the yardstick whose height has not been given.
21 ft how is the equation to give you this result
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).
(18/16)x40=45
The tree was 20 feet tall.
36.0 feet
25 feet tall
Using trigonometry the angle of elevation is 77 degrees rounded to the nearest degree
A normal shadow.
sunlight and something opaque ( cast a shadow )
No the only way you can tell time from a shadow is from something ubstruckting direct sunlight any type of light that is not sunlight will not allow the change in earths rotation to change the angle of the shadow.
It depends on whether the sun is in front or behind you.
Of course.
A shadow.
Stand with your back to the Sun, and look at your shadow on the ground. Your shadow is created because your body is blocking out the sunlight.
That depends on the height of the yardstick whose height has not been given.
as long as your'e standing in sunlight
