*In case of Objects that are taller than students which are not not able to measure directly can be measured Using shadow of that object.
* Example , lets take we need to measure heiht of pole .
* Take some one meter stick , and keep that stick near to pole , As the shodows of both pole & stick lie on ground , students can measure
*now equate the ratio of actual height & length of shadow , as the suns angle is same , the ratio will be equal
* actual height of stick / shdow height of stick = actual height of pole / shdow height of pole
*In above equation the unknown tern is , actual height of pole, all other terms are known .
* Hence , in this method we can measure height of pole , wichout measuring it.
