Hello!
As you can see, 22 is the opposite angle. We are looking for the adjacent angle. Let's just call it x. Using SOH CAH TOA, we see that the tangent is the opposite divided by the adjacent side. Let's use that.
tan54≈1.38
This gives us the equation below.
1.38=22/x
Let's solve this equation for x.
1.38x=22
x=22/1.38
x=15.94
Therefore, the length of the shadow is about 15.94 meters.
I hope this helps!
I am not 100% sure but I think the answer is C I hope I helped you and Good luck
The answer is: " 60° " .

Explanation:

Note: All triangles, by definition, have 3 (three) sides and 3 (three angles).
The triangle shown (in the "image attached") has three EQUAL side lengths. Therefore, the triangle shown is an "equilateral triangle" and has 3 (three) equal angles, as well.
All triangles by, definition, have 3 (three) angles that add up to "180° " .
Since each of the 3 (three) angles is equal; and the three angles are:
"∠A" , "∠B" , and "∠C" ;
We can find the measure of "∠A" ; denoted as: "m∠A" ; as follows:
______________________________________________________
m∠A = 180° ÷ 3 = 60° .

The answer is: " 60° " .
______________________________________________________
m∠A = " 60° " .
