Draw a picture of the situation. The height of the girl is the
upright leg of a right triangle. The ray of light from the sun
touching the top of her head is the hypotenuse and goes down and
away from her at a 25° angle to the horizontal. Basic trig will
show that
H/Ls = tan25° or
Ls = H/tan25° = 5/tan25° = 10.72 ft

A man 6.50 ft tall approaches a street light 17.0 ft above the ground at the rate of 5.00 ft/s. How fast is the end of the man's shadow moving when he is 8.0 ft from the base of the light? 17.0 ft 6.50 ft 5.00 ft/s The end of the man's shadow is moving at a rate of ft/s (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
(1 point) A street light is at the top of a 17 ft pole. A 6 ft tall girl walks along a straight path away trom the pole with a speed of 7 ft/sec At what rate is the tip of her shadow moving away from the light (ie away from the top of the pole) when the girl is 35 ft away from the pole? Answer How fast is her shadow lengthening? Answer
The sun is 60 ∘ above the horizon. Rays from the sun strike the still surface of a pond and cast a shadow of a stick that is stuck in the sandy bottom of the pond. If the stick is 19 cm tall, how long is the shadow? How do you solve this type of problem? What do you use to solve it?
