Answer: 101.03 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The height of the person is [tex]h=175\ cm[/tex]
Sun is [tex]60^{\circ}[/tex] above the ground
Suppose x is the length of the shadow
From the figure, we can write
[tex]\Rightarrow \tan 60^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{h}{\tan 60^{\circ}}\\\\\Rightarrow x=101.03\ cm[/tex]
So, the length of the shadow is 101.03 cm
