∙ 11y agoFor pole: ratio of shadow to pole = 12/8 = 1.5
So, for tree, ration = 1.5
24/H = 1.5 so H = 24/1.5 = 16 ft

It works out as 30 feet in height

Objects do cast shadows at higher altitudes in the same way they do on the ground; however, the shadow may not be visible due to the lack of contrast against the sky. Additionally, the position of the sun in the sky and the angle at which light is hitting the object can also affect the visibility of the shadow.

Ratio shadow:real height for gate = 12ft:5ft = 2.4 So ratio for chimney = 28:real height = 2.4 Height of chimney = 28/2.4 = 11.66... ft
It works out as 30 feet in height
As the sun is far enough away, the rays of light are effectively parallel. This produces similar triangles with the ratio of sides the same in each case. As the shadow of the post is 12 ft and the shadow of the tree is 24 ft, the sides of the triangle of the tree are double that of the post. Assuming the post is parallel to the tree, the tree's height is twice the height of the post → tree = 12 ft × 2 = 24ft high.
27.3 feet
The man is twice as high as his shadow. Therefore, the tree must also be twice as high as its shadow, which would make the tree 40 feet tall.
Depends what time of day it is ... how high the sun is. It keeps changing all day. No shadow at all at night.
