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.
5
84 feet tall
35 feet tall.
Using trigonometry its height is 12 feet
The height of the flagpolle is 26.25 feet
5
84 feet tall
When the light source is directly over it or at night.
They both have the same tangent ratio so let the flagpole be x: x/60 = 18/24 Multiply both sides by 60: x = 1080/24 x = 45 feet
35 feet tall.
Using trigonometry its height is 12 feet
The height of the flagpolle is 26.25 feet
A flagpole's shadow changes in length and direction throughout the day due to the movement of the sun across the sky. In the morning and late afternoon, shadows are longer as the sun is lower on the horizon, while at noon, shadows are shorter since the sun is at its highest point. Additionally, the angle of the shadow varies with the seasons as the sun's path changes, affecting the overall length and direction of the shadow cast by the flagpole.
The lenght of the shadow will be 12.6 ft
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
I think this question is about similar shapes. To answer this divide the height of the tree, 5ft, by the shadow cast by it, 3 ft. This will give you the scale factor. To then find the answer, times the scale factor by the shawdow cast by the nearby tree, and will find your answer in ft. Hope this helped.
