Question

A flower 6cm high casts a shadow 2√3 m long on the ground, then find the suns elevation?

Answer 1

Height, h = 6 cm
Base, b = 2√3 cm
 Let the elevation be θ
Then, tanθ = 6/(2√3) = √3
tanθ = √3
⇒θ = 60°

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Height of flower, h = 6 cm

Base of flower, b = 2√3 cm

To Find :-

The suns elevation

Solution :-

Let the elevation be θ

⇒ tanθ = 6/(2√3) = √3

⇒ tanθ = √3

⇒ θ = 60°

Hence, The suns elevation is 60°
