Assuming a horizontal ground, each object's and the object's shadow
\n" ); document.write( "can be visualized as the legs of a right triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse would be along the ray of sunlight that grazes the top of the object,
\n" ); document.write( "and both hypotenuses make the same angle with the ground.
\n" ); document.write( "Having one pair of congruent acute acute angles,
\n" ); document.write( "makes both right triangles similar,
\n" ); document.write( "so their ratio of vertical leg to horizontal leg must be the same.
\n" ); document.write( "for the tower, $\"height%2F%227+m%22=5m%2F%222+m%22\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"height=%287+m%29%285m%29%2F%222+m%22\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"height=highlight%2817.5m%29\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
