Question

find the elevation angle of sun if length of shadow of pole is equal its height.​

Answer 1

Answer:

45 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of shadow- l

Pole height- h

Elevation angle- x

We have l=h as adjacent sides of right triangle formed by sun light and shadow. And we can use following formula to calculate elevation angle:

l=h*tanx

tanx=l/h

tanx=1

x=45 deg
