(Height of the building)/(length of the shadow) = tangent of 31° .
Height = 73 tan(31°) = 43.9 feet (rounded)

What is the angle of elevation of the sun if a 93 feet tall casts a shadow of 26 feet?
Use the tangent ratio: tan = 93/26 = 74.38 degrees to 2 d.p.
If a tree 17 feet tall casts a shadow 12 feet long how high is a building that casts a shadow 19 feet long?
To cast a 19 foot shadow the building would have to be 26.91 feet tall. Each foot of building/tree casts 8.47 inches of shadow.
How tall is a light pole that casts a 24 foot shadow?
You need more info, probably an angle of elevation or something like that. It may be 14ft tall.
A pole that is 2.6m tall casts a shadow that is 1.51m long At the same time a nearby building casts a shadow that is 42.25m long round your answer to the nearest meter How tall is the building?
Let x = the height of the building. So we have, x/2.6 = 42.25/1.51 x = (2.6)(42.25)/1.51 x =72.75 Thus, the building is 72.75 meter tall.
A 10 ft tree casts a 14 ft shadow If a building casts a 280 ft shadow how tall is the building?
You take 280 times 10 and then divide that by 14 which equals 200 ft.
What is the angle of elevation of the sun when a woman 1.5 meters tall casts a shadow of 2.9 meter shadow?
It is: 27.35 degrees rounded to two decimal places
When the angle of elevation on of the sun is 75 degree a building casts shadow of 125 feet how tall is the degree?
If you mean the height of the building then it works out as 466.5063509 feet
A tree 100ft tall casts a shadow 120ft long.Find the angle of elevation of the sun?
tan(A) = 120/100 =39.81 degrees
The angle of elevation to the top of a building from a position on the ground 100 meters from the base of the building is 40 degrees how tall is the building?
tan40=x/100 100tan(40)=83.9m
When the angle of elevation to the sun is 26 degrees a flagpole casts a shadow that is 82 feet long. How tall is the flag pole?
It is nearly 40 feet
What is the angle of elevation of the sun if Rolando who is 170cm tall casts a shadow of 200cm long?
It is tan-1(170/200) = 40.365 degrees to 3 decimal places
What is the angle of elevation of the sun if a 93 feet tall casts a shadow of 26 feet?
Use the tangent ratio: tan = 93/26 = 74.38 degrees to 2 d.p.

If a tree 17 feet tall casts a shadow 12 feet long how high is a building that casts a shadow 19 feet long?
To cast a 19 foot shadow the building would have to be 26.91 feet tall. Each foot of building/tree casts 8.47 inches of shadow.
If a clock tower is 15 feet tall. How long is its shadow at 60 degree above the horizon. How do you work out the problem?
If the angle of elevation is 60 degrees then by using the tangent ratio the length of the shadow is 8.66 feet rounded to two decimal places.
How tall is a flag pole if the shadow is 15 feet?
That depends on the angle of elevation which has not been given.
How tall is a building with a 45 foot shadow?
It can be just about any height. To get a specific answer, you would also have to know how high the Sun is in the sky - how many degrees above the horizon; and that can be anythiing between 0 and 90 degrees.
