Question

Raj's shadow is 10 feet long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 32º.

Answer 1

In triangle ABC,

`\begin{gathered} \tan 32^(\circ)=(AB)/(BC) \\ \tan 32^(\circ)=\frac{AB}{10\text{ ft}} \\ AB=6.248\text{ ft.} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the required height of Raj is 6.25 ft rounded two decimal places.
