At high noon, the sun is almost directly above (about 2.0 degrees from the vertical) and a tall redwood tree casts a shadow that is 10m long. How tall is the redwood tree?

290m

The light always travels in a straight line.

At high noon, the ray from the sun is 2° from the vertical axis.

tan θ = (Opposite side)/(Adjacent side)

On applying above trigonometric formula, we get,

tan 2 = 10/h

0.035 = 10/h

∴ h = 10/0.035 = 290 m

well, you would divide 135 by 33 to get your answer. then that is how many seconds it would take. boardman should fly about 132 m or 4.090909090909091 seconds.
