Question

if a pole of height 6m casts a shadow 2root3m tong on the ground,then find the suns elevation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

60º

Step-by-step explanation:

/* Define the angle */

Let the angle of elevation be θ.

/* The pole and the shadow will form a right angle triangle */

/* Trigonometry Identity: tan θ = opposite ÷ adjacent */

tan θ = 6 ÷ (2√3)

tan θ = √3

θ = 60º

Answer: 60º
