Answer:

0.40 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first case, a 50 - foot building casts a- foot shadow (1-foot). Let the angle of elevation of the sun from the shadow be represented by θ.

Then:

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan θ = \frac{50}{1}

Tan θ = 50

⇒ θ = Tan^{-1} 50

      = 88.8542

      = 88.85^{o}

The angle of elevation is approximately 88.85^{o}.

For a 20-foot pole,

Tan θ = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Tan 88.85^{o} = \frac{20}{x}

x = \frac{20}{Tan 88.85^{o} }

 = 0.4015

 = 0.40 foot

The length of the shadow of the pole is 0.40 foot.
