A flagpole casts a shadow 102 feet long a 6ft talk man casts a shadow 17ft long How tall is the flagpole?
It works out as: 42.353 feet tall rounded to 3 decimal places
If a man 6 feet tall casts a shadow 8 feet long and a flagpole casts a shadow 32 feet long at the same time and location how tall is the flagpole?
The flagpole is 24 feet tall.Assuming their shadows align exactly, they form similar triangles andh/32 = 6/8Mutiply both sides by 32h = 192/8 = 24
If billboard is 18 ft high and cast a 24 ft shadow at the same time a flagpole next to a billboard cast a 60 ft shadow how high is the flagpole?
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
How high is the building whose shadow 45 meters when the angle of elevation of the sun is 62 degree 30 degree?
Suppose the length of the shadow is s metres. Then tan(62 deg) = 45/S so that S = 45/tan(62 deg) = 45/1.88 (approx = 23.93 metres, approx.
The shadow of a vertical tower is 58 feet long when the angles of elevation of the sun is 36 degrees. what is the height of the tower to the nearest foot?
tan(36) = H/58 where H is the height of the tower. So H = 58*tan(36) = 42 feet.
If the angle of elevation of the sun is 53 degrees when a flagpole casts a shadow of 12 m then the height of the flagpole is?
The flagpole is 15.92 metres, approx.
what is the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 32.4 m long?
If we assume the the flagpole makes a 90 degree angle with the ground, then the angle of elevator for the sun is 34.778°
Suppose you know the height of a flagpole on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay and that you know the length of its shadow How do you calculate the angle of elevation?
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
What is the measure of the angle between the end of the shadow and the vertical side of a 170ft building that cast a 40 ft long shadow?
Using trigonometry the angle of elevation is 77 degrees rounded to the nearest degree
If a flagpole cast a shadow of 7.7m and a pole cast a shadow of 1.2m how tall is the flagpole?
5
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
A flagpole casts a ten meter shadow at the same time as a six meter statue beside it casts a two meter shadow What is the height of the flagpole?
The statue is 6/2 = 3 times the length of its shadow. The flagpole is 3 times its shadow ie the flagpole is 3*10 = 30 metres.
What is the geometric figure of shadow of a flagpole?
pyramid
The shadow of a flag pole shortens 50 feet as the angle of the sun decreses from 60 to 40 find the nearest foot the height of the flagpole?
56 feet.
If a tree casts a shadow of fifteen meters long how tall is the tree?
Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
A meter stick cast a shadow 1.4m long at the same time a flagpole casts a shadow 7.7m long the triangle formed by the meterstick and its shadow is similar.how tall is the flagpole?
84 feet tall
If a 30 foot flagpole casts a 12 foot shadow how tall is a mailbox casting a 18 inch shadow?
First find the angle of elevation by using the tangent ratio formula:tangent = opposite (the flagpole)/adjacent (the shadow)tangent = 30/12 = 68.19859051 degreesThen rearrange the formula to find the height of the mailbox:height of mailbox = 18*tangent 68.19859051 = 44.99999......Therefore: height of mailbox = 45 inches to the nearest inch.Or,Since we have two similar right triangles whose legs are the 30 feet flagpole and its 12 feet shadow, the length x of mailbox and its 18 inches shadow, we have:18 in/x = 12 ft/30 ft (cross multiply)(12)(x) = (30)(18 in)12x = 540 in (divide by 12 to both sides)x = 45 in
