Answer:

Length of shadow = 35.56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ BAC = 68°

Height of building = BC = 88 ft

Length of shadow = AC = ?

[tex]tan(68^{o})=\frac{BC}{AC}\\\\tan(68^{o})=\frac{88}{b}\\\\b=\frac{88}{tan(68^{o})}\\\\b=\frac{88}{2.475}\\\\b=35.56 \,ft[/tex]

The Length of shadow  is 35.56 ft.

Given that,

  • If the sun is 68° above the horizon.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

[tex]tan 68 ^{\circ} = BC \div AC\\\\tan 68 ^{\circ} = 88 \div b\\\\b = 88 \div tan 68 ^{\circ} \\\\= 88 \div 2.475[/tex]

= 35.56 ft.
