Consider the pole as perpendicular of a right angled triangle and the shadow as base of the right angled triangle.
By trigonometry, tan x = perpendicular / base
= 6 / 2 underroot 3 = underroot 3
Hence x = 60 degrees = angle of elevation
By trigonometry, tan x = perpendicular / base
= 6 / 2 underroot 3 = underroot 3
Hence x = 60 degrees = angle of elevation
