Question 1192766: ``PROBLEM SOLVING. Analyze. Solve. Answer.
Draw diagrams wherever necessary. Round off your final answers up to 2 decimal places.
-At a certain time of the day, the angle of elevation of the sun is 52°, what is the length of the shadow on the level ground of a man who is 1.67 m tall?
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The man is vertical and that leg is 1.67 m
The shadow is horizontal and the angle to the Sun mss 52 degrees.
So the tangent of 52=1.67/shadow length
the length of the shadow is 1.30 m long
Above 45 degrees elevation of the Sun, the shadow will be shorter than the shadow caster.
