Question

The angle of elevation of the sun is 27 degree. If a tree is 12 yd tall how long will the shadow be?

Answer 1

i want to know how tall the tree is not the shadow

Answer 2

I guess the shadow is 12 yards = 36 feet long ?
if so
tan 27 = height/36
height = 36 tan 27 feet high
=36 * .51 feet or about 18 feet or 6 yards tall

Answer 3

I got 13.5.
