To find the height of a shadow, you can use similar triangles. Measure the height of the object casting the shadow and the length of the shadow itself. Then, using a known reference height and its corresponding shadow length, set up a proportion: (height of object)/(length of shadow) = (height of reference)/(length of reference shadow). Solve for the unknown height.

How high is a wall that cast a 13ft shadow at the same time that a 5ft flagpole cast a 5ft shawdow?
To find the height of the wall, we can use the concept of similar triangles. The ratio of the height of the flagpole to its shadow is the same as the ratio of the height of the wall to its shadow. Therefore, we set up the proportion: ( \frac{5 \text{ ft}}{5 \text{ ft}} = \frac{h}{13 \text{ ft}} ). Solving for ( h ), we find that the height of the wall is 13 ft.
How tall is the arch if a boy is 5 feet tall and stands under the Gateway Arch in St Louis and casts a shadow that is 1 foot long and the shadow of the Arch is 126 feet long?
To find the height of the Gateway Arch, we can use the concept of similar triangles. The ratio of the boy's height to his shadow length is the same as the ratio of the Arch's height to its shadow length. Therefore, if the boy is 5 feet tall and casts a 1-foot shadow, the height of the Arch can be calculated as follows: Height of Arch = (Height of boy / Length of boy's shadow) × Length of Arch's shadow = (5 feet / 1 foot) × 126 feet = 630 feet. Thus, the Gateway Arch is 630 feet tall.
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?

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.
If a flagpole casts a shadow of 7.7m and a meter stick casts a shadow of 1.4m how tall is the flagpole?
To find the height of the flagpole, you can use the concept of similar triangles. The ratio of the height of the flagpole to the length of its shadow should equal the ratio of the height of the meter stick (1 meter) to its shadow (1.4 meters). Therefore, the height of the flagpole can be calculated as follows: [ \text{Height of flagpole} = \frac{7.7 , \text{m}}{1.4 , \text{m}} \times 1 , \text{m} \approx 5.5 , \text{m}. ] Thus, the flagpole is approximately 5.5 meters tall.
How can you find the height of tree?
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
A tree cast a 9 ft shadow at the same time that the a person 6ft tall cast a 4 ft shadow what is the height if the tree?
To find the height of the tree, we can set up a proportion using the similar triangles formed by the tree and its shadow, and the person and their shadow. The ratio of the height of the tree to its shadow is the same as the ratio of the height of the person to their shadow. This gives us (height of tree)/(9 ft) = (6 ft)/(4 ft). Solving for the height of the tree, we get height of tree = (9 ft * 6 ft) / 4 ft = 13.5 ft.
How tall is the arch if a boy is 5 feet tall and stands under the Gateway Arch in St Louis and casts a shadow that is 1 foot long and the shadow of the Arch is 126 feet long?
To find the height of the Gateway Arch, we can use the concept of similar triangles. The ratio of the boy's height to his shadow length is the same as the ratio of the Arch's height to its shadow length. Therefore, if the boy is 5 feet tall and casts a 1-foot shadow, the height of the Arch can be calculated as follows: Height of Arch = (Height of boy / Length of boy's shadow) × Length of Arch's shadow = (5 feet / 1 foot) × 126 feet = 630 feet. Thus, the Gateway Arch is 630 feet tall.

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.
