Question

the angle of elevation to the sun is 24°. what is the length of the shadow cast by a person 1.82 m tall?​

Answer 1

4.089

Explanation:

24 degree is the Angle of elevation. SO we can use in this triangle Tan.

So tan 24 = AB/BC because tan is the ratio of height over adjacent.

So we can say it is tan 24 = (1.82)/BC

So BC = (1.82)/tan(24) = 4.089m

BC is representing shadow of men. So shadow of men is 4.089m
