Not enough information has been given to solve this problem such as: What is the angle of elevation?
Using trigonometry the angle of elevation is 77 degrees rounded to the nearest degree
84 feet tall
When the light source is directly over it or at night.
51.34019175 degrees or as 51o20'24.69''
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
An object casts a shadow whenever it is illuminated. It really has nothing to do with the angle. Regardless of the angle, it will cast a shadow. The LENGTH of the shadow it casts, however, is dependent upon the angle at which the light strikes the object. A stop sign will cast a very narrow shadow when the sun is directly overhead, for example, but will cast a very long one at sunrise or sunset.
35 feet tall.
Using trigonometry its height is 12 feet
The height of the flagpolle is 26.25 feet
Using tangent ratio for a right angle triangle: tan(48.4)*7.42 = 8.357 m which is the height of the flag pole rounded to 3 decimal places
