Question 1

A 11m 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 2

A 25m 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) = 25 × tan(30°) = 14.4 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).

Question 3

A 16m 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) = 16 × tan(30°) = 9.2 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).

Question 4

A 26m 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) = 26 × tan(30°) = 15.0 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 5

A 25m 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) = 25 × tan(15°) = 6.7 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 6

A 28m 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) = 28 × tan(15°) = 7.5 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 7

A 26m 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) = 26 × tan(30°) = 15.0 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 8

A 12m 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) = 12 × tan(15°) = 3.2 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 9

A 26m 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) = 26 × tan(15°) = 7.0 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).

Question 10

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 11

A 13m tall person is standing outside at 12:00 noon. If the sun is directly overhead, what is the length of his shadow?
