cos θ = (R/( (√(d^2 +(H−h−R)^2 ))))  r = Rsin θ  tan α = ((H−h−R)/d)  ((BM)/r) = (((((H−h−R))/(sin α))−Rcos θ)/(H/(sin α)))  ∠SAG = 90°+α−θ  ⇒  AG = Htan (θ−α)  AM = Hcot α−Htan (θ−α)  CM = Htan (180°−θ−α)−Hcot α  GM = Hcot α    ....(i)  AC = AM+CM =2a   2a = H[tan (180°−θ−α)−tan (θ−α)]  B≡(BM,Hcot α−d)  ON = Htan (θ−α)+a−d  eq. of shadow ellipse  (x^2 /b^2 )+(([y−(Htan (θ−α)+a−d)]^2 )/a^2 )=1  substituting B≡(BM,Hcot α−d)  we find b .  Area of shadow = πab .

This isn′t less complicated than  the vector way.. dear MrW Sir.

if complicated or not, this is relative.  all roads lead to rome.  thank you for this solution sir!   you have made every thing very clear.
