A tree which is 93 ft tall casts a shadow of 26 ft find the angle of elevation of the sun?
Use the tangent formula:
tanx= opposite side {divided by} adjacent side
1) Divide the 2 sides I side.
2) See the "tanx"? Tan is a value. And x is a variable. To get x, the angle we are looking for, we must take the answer from 1) and go tan-1 on it (some calculators you hit tan, then 2nd function, others are the opposite).
3)You should have the value of x, the angle of elevation to the sun.

A lamp pole casts a shadow 49 feet long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 44.8 degrees Find the height of the lamp pole?
A pole casting a shadow 49 feet long with an angle of elevation of the sun of 44.8 degrees is 50 feet tall. (47.98 rounded to two places)Tangent (theta) = opposite / adjacentTangent (44.9) = X / 49X = 47.98This does not take into account the curvature of the earth, but the error in this example is inconsequential, specifically an elevation error of about 0.015 percent.

Suppose you know the height of a flagpole on the beach of the Chesapeake bay and that it casts a shadow 4ft long at 2pm est you also know the height of a flagpole on the shoreline of lake Michigan?
You can then work out the angle of elevation ------------- What is it you want to find out? In any case, you would have to look up the latitude of each place, and perhaps also the time of year. It might be easiest if it were the spring or fall equinox.
A tree 10 ft tall cast a shadow 12 ft long find the angle elevation of the sun.?
draw yourself a triangle, with a 90* angle at the root of the tree. The sides of the triangle are: The shadow(the base side), the tree (the vertical side) and the distance between the top of the tree and the top of the shadow of the tree (the diagonal side).Then either calculate the diagonal side and solve the puzzle with a sine or directly solve it with a cosine. (You need the angle between the diagonal and base sides)
Find the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 34 m long?
Use the tangent ratio: tan = 22.5/34 = 45/68 tan-1(45/68) = 33.49518467 degrees Angle of elevation = 33o29'42.66''
How can you find the height of tree?

A tree casts a shadow of 23 meters when the angle of elevation of the sun is 23 Find the height of tree to the nearest meter?
Use the tangent ratio: 23*tan(23) = 9.762920773 Answer: 10 meters to the nearest meter
A tree 40 feet high casts a shadow 58 feet long find the measure of the angle of elevation of the sum?
To find the angle of elevation of the sun, we can use the tangent function. The tangent of an angle is equal to the opposite side (height of the tree) divided by the adjacent side (length of the shadow). So, tan(angle) = height of the tree / length of the shadow. Plugging in the values, we get tan(angle) = 40 / 58. Taking the arctan of both sides gives us the angle, so the angle of elevation of the sun is approximately 33.56 degrees.
How do you find the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow of a 12 foot flag pole to the top of the pole is 60 degrees?
You can use trigonometry to find the angle of elevation. Let x be the distance from the tip of the shadow to the base of the pole and the height of the pole be y. Then, tan(60 degrees) = y/x. Given that the height of the pole is 12 feet, you can solve for x to find the angle of elevation.
How do you find the elevation of the sun?
WARNING: Do not, under any conditions, look at the sun, directly or indirectly.The find the elevation of the sun, measure the angle that an object's shadow from the sun makes. One way to do this is with a stick in the ground. Assuming the stick is perpendicular to the ground, the ratio of the stick's length to the shadow's length is the tangent of the angle of elevation. Solve for inverse tangent, and you have the angle.

How do you find the angle of elevation of the sun if the shadow of the pole 60 ft tall reaches 92 ft from the pole?
Providing that the pole is on level ground you have the outline of a right angled triangle with an adjacent side of 92 ft (the shadow of the pole) and a opposite side of 60 ft (the height of the pole). To find the angle of elevation use the tangent ratio. Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent Tangent = 60/92 = 0.652173913 Tan-1(0.652173913) = 33.11134196 degrees Therefore the angle of elevation is 33o correct to two significant figures.
