How far will a 35 foot tall building cast a shadow in southern CA between the hours of 9 am and 3 pm?


Rate This Answer

A3 To answer this question, you must first think of the building and its shadow as a triangle. Only if we know the value of 2 sides of the triangle can we figure out the third side using the Pythagorean Theorum. Unfortunately, we only have one side, but a good estimate is a range of 0-60 feet between the hours of 9am and 3pm.
