Answer: 25.2361459992ft

This question can be solved by a trigonometric equation. Shadow formed when something with height like a tree, so it can be pictured as a vertical line. Shadow is a length of and can be pictured as a horizontal line.  
In trigonometric, to find the vertical line length with horizontal line you need tan function. The sun angle will be used in the function, so the calculation would be: tan(31) x 42ft = 25.2361459992ft

ki77a [65]

Answer:

The possible solutions are 58 degree, 122 degrees, 302 degrees and 238 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the attachment

From the figure, it is evident that

cos AOB = OB/OA = 53/100 = 0.53

Thus, cos-1 (0.53) = 58 degrees

AOB = 58 degree

Also, there are can be other values depending on the quadrants

COB = 180 -58 = 122 degrees

FOB = 360 -58 = 302 degrees

EOB = 180 + 58 = 238 degrees
