Question 1

A 22m tall person is standing outside at 18:00 evening. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards East, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 22 × tan(30°) = 12.7 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 2

A 20m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 20 × tan(15°) = 5.4 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).

Question 3

A 19m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 19 × tan(15°) = 5.1 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).

Question 4

A 24m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 24 × tan(15°) = 6.4 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).

Question 5

A 21m tall person is standing outside at 12:00 noon. If the sun is directly overhead, what is the length of his shadow?
When sun is directly overhead at noon, no shadow is cast (or shadow directly below).

Question 6

A 11m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 11 × tan(15°) = 2.9 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).

Question 7

A 26m tall person is standing outside at 6:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 26 × tan(30°) = 15.0 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).

Question 8

A 20m tall person is standing outside at 18:00 evening. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards East, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 20 × tan(30°) = 11.5 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 9

A 10m tall person is standing outside at 6:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 10 × tan(30°) = 5.8 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).

Question 10

A 22m tall person is standing outside at 18:00 evening. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards East, what is the length of his shadow?

Question 11

A 10m tall person is standing outside at 18:00 evening. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards East, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 10 × tan(30°) = 5.8 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 12

A 18m tall person is standing outside at 15:00 afternoon. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards East, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 18 × tan(15°) = 4.8 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 13
