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.
the angle at which a shadow is formed
When the sun is low down, the shadow is longer. If the sun is high up the shadow is shorter.
The shortest shadow is cast at noon when the sun is directly overhead, resulting in the smallest angle of incidence for sunlight and the shortest shadow length.
The shortest shadow occurs at noon.
There will be no shadow because the sun will be directly over your head on the equator at 12 noon.

The shortness of your shadow depends both where you are on Earth you are and when you are there.If you stand on the Earth between the Tropics of Cancer (North Tropic ) at 23°26′13.9″ N and Capricorn (South Tropic) at 23°26′13.9″ S at noon your shadow will be directly overhead at some time of the year and will be as small as it can be. The date will range between the Summer Solstice (North), the equinoxes (equator) and the Winter Solstice (south). North or south of the two Tropics your shadow will be shortest at noon on the solstices.
The shadow of the stick will be the shortest during midday when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. At this time, the angle of the sun's rays hitting the stick is the smallest, resulting in a shorter shadow.
Your shadow is shortest when the sun is directly overhead, typically around noon on a clear day. This is because the angle of the sunlight is most perpendicular to your position, minimizing the length of your shadow.

Atmidday
The day when your shadow is the shortest depends on where you are on the Earth. * In the northern hemisphere it is when the sun is the highest in the sky. The day of the Summer Solstice * .In the southern hemisphere it is when the sun is the highest in the sky. The day of the Winter Solstice. * At the equator the sun is directly overhead and your shadow is at its minimum at each of the equinoxes
it is shortest at noon when the sun is directly over you
