Question

find the angle of find the angle of elevation of the sun when the shadow of a pole of 18 M height is 6? 363 M long.?

Answer 1

Answer:

θ=tan⁻¹(√3 / 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle of Elevation is the angle formed when for an object which is seen by an observer such that an angle in between the line from the object and horizontal to the observer's eyes.

In Δ ABC  we have :

Tanθ=perpendicular/base

so,here according to the picture attached we have:

Perpendicular=18M

Base:6√363 M

θ(theta)=unknown

The formula becomes:

θ=tan⁻¹(18/6√363)

θ=tan⁻¹(√3 / 11)

θ=8.948°

This is the angle of elevation of the sun.
