the angle at which a shadow is formed
It depends on the angle of depression of the sun. The answer would be 80ft * tan(90-angle of depression) At a depression angle of 40 degrees, the shadow would be 80 * tan (50) which equals 95.340ft
Using trigonometry the angle of elevation is 77 degrees rounded to the nearest degree
The angle of the sun can be worked out through trigonometry, but first you will need the height of the object that is causing the shadow, since a taller object will make a longer shadow. Tan a = H/2.44 Where a is the angle and H is the height of the object. And the date is not relevant.
It depends on the time of day because the angle of the sun will determine the shadow length
