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

Convert the angle 61 38’ 45” to decimal degrees, and round to the nearest hundredth of a degree
slega [8]
A suitable calculator* can do this easily.

61°38'45" = (61 +(38 +45/60)/60)° ≈ 61.65°

_____
I like the RealCalc app for Android, but many graphing calculators also will do this conversion. Of course, you can simply evaluate the expression as above.
