Hey mate !!

Here's the answer !!

Given that ( Opposite side )² = 3 * ( Base )²

Refer the attachment for the diagram.

Let us Assume AB = Opposite side ( Height ) and BC as Base ( Shadow )

So According to the question,

AB² = 3 BC²

Taking Square root on both sides we get,

AB = BC √ 3

=> AB / BC = √ 3

In terms of language we can write it as,

Opposite / Base = √ 3

We know that, 

Opposite / Base = Tan Ф

Hence Tan Ф = √ 3

We know that Tan 60° = √ 3

Hence The value of Angle of Depression is 60°.

Hope my answer helped !!

Cheers !!
