Question

If the distance from the too of the building to the tip of its shadow is 150ft, what is the length of the buildings shadow

Answer 1

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
