In order to know the length of the shadow, we will use a trigonometric function in this case for the data given and the distance we want to find we will use the sine


\sin (75)=(S)/(150)

we isolate S


S=\sin (75)\cdot150=144.89

the length of the shadow is 144.89ft

If the distance from the too of the building to the tip of its shadow is 150ft, what-example-1
