Answer:
The length of shadow to your height is proportional to 1/Tangent (sun's altitude). If the sun is low in the sky (10 degrees), your shadow would be 5.67 times as long as your height. The corresponding ratio at 5 degrees is 11.43 . (So an average height person (5.8 feet) would have a 66 foot long shadow).
Explanation:
The height of an object is calculated by measuring the distance from the object and the angle of elevation of the top of the object. The tangent of the angle is the object height divided by the distance from the object. Thus, the height is found.
