One morning after sunrise, Suresh was standing facing a pole. The shadow of the pole fell exactly to his right. Can you tell me the direction towards which the shadow was pointing - east, south, west, or north? Explain your reasoning steps.

After sun r ise , the shadow of the shadow will depend on the angle of the sun relative to the observer and the pole . \n \n Let ' s assume that the sun is located at the z en ith ( direct ly above the observer ), and the pole is per pend icular to the ground . In this case , the shadow of the pole will point directly south . \n \n However , if the sun is not at the z en ith , the shadow will point towards the direction of the sun . Therefore , to determine the direction of the shadow , we need to find the angle between the sun and the observer . \n \n Since the shadow fell exactly to S ures h ' s right , the angle between the sun and the observer must have been 9 0 degrees . This means that the sun was directly overhead , and the shadow pointed directly south . \n \n There fore , the direction of the shadow was south . </s>
