How do you use shadow method to estimate height or distance?
Measure height and shadow af a smaller object --- call these h1 and s1 measure the shadow of something larger like a tree. call this s2 its height is the unknown call it h2 use a proportion to solve the problem h1/s1 = h2/s2 substitute in the measured amounts, rearrange the equation (proportion) and find the answer.
To obtain the height of a tree you measure the tree's shadow and find that it is 8 meters long the shadow of a two-meter lamppost and find that it is 75 centimeters long how tall is the tree?
-67
How do you find the approximate height of a monument when the shadow is 500 ft and the flagpole is 40 ft and the shadow 36ft?
They both share the same tangent ratio so let the height of the monument be x: 500/x = 40/36 Solving the above equation gives x a value of 450 which is the height in feet.
When is our height shorter to our shadow?
When the sun is low down, the shadow is longer. If the sun is high up the shadow is shorter.
What is the height of a building that cast a 105' shadow when a 6' man casts a 14' shadow?
Height of building/105 = 6/14 Multiply both sides by 105: Height = 630/14 Height = 45 feet
