If the sun is hitting a pole at 30 degrees altitude and the pole is 3' tall how long is the shadow?
If the pole is on level ground then you have the outline of a right angled triangle with an opposite side of 3 feet and an adjacent angle of 30 degrees. To find the length of the adjacent side (which in effect is the shadow of the pole) use the tangent ratio: tangent = opposite/adjacent which can be rearranged to: adjacent = opposite/tangent adjacent = 3/tangent 30o = 5.196152423 feet Therefore the shadow cast by the pole is 5.2 feet corrected to one decimal place.

How tall is a flag pole that casts an 18 ft shadow at the same time that a 6 ft man casts a 4 ft shadow?
We can solve this problem using a ratio. Since a 6 foot man casts a 4 foot shadow we can write this ratio as 6:4. If we reduce this ratio we get 3:2. Now we're stating that for every 3 feet of height, the shadow cast will be 2 feet.Now we can work our problem out using a small table:3 feet of flag pole = 2 feet of shadow6 feet of flag pole = 4 feet of shadow9 feet of flag pole = 6 feet of shadow12 feet of flag pole = 8 feet of shadow15 feet of flag pole = 10 feet of shadow18 feet of flag pole = 12 feet of shadowTherefore an 18 foot flag pole will cast a 12 foot shadow at the same time that a 6 foot man casts a 4 foot shadow.
