Question

a pole 14m high cast a shadow 14 √3m long on the ground. find the sun's elevation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

30°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that, angle of elevation can be identified by formula (tan theeta = opp side / adjacent side)

according to the problem, opposite side = 14m and adjacent side = 14√3 m.

so

tan theeta = 14/14√3

= 1/√3

theeta = 30°

angle of sun's elevation is 30°

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

30°

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, angle of elevation can be identified by formula (tan theeta = opp side / adjacent side) according to the problem, opposite side = 14m and adjacent side = 14√3 m.

So

tan theeta = 14/14√3

                 = 1/√3

                    Therefore, theeta = 30°

                    Hence, the angle of sun's elevation is 30°
