Hi Ruby,
wellcome

Get the Sun's Azimuths from the South (Z),

Z=arctg(senH/(senL*cosH - cosL*tgD))

where
H hour angles
L latitude
D Sun'declinations

the seven D angles are 
0, 11.475, 20.155, 23.443, 
-11.475, -20.443 and -23.443

The shadow points on the hour lines (H) are away from the
Radiant Point the distances P

P = VG*senZ / (tgL*sen(Z - arctg(senL*tgH)))

where 
VG height of the vertical gnomon
