Question

if height of a tower is 20m and length of shadow in 20 underoot 3 find the altitude of sun​

Answer 1

Answer:

height of tower=20m

lenght of shadow=20$\sqrt{3}$

let altitude be 'A degrees'

therefore tan(A)=20/20$\sqrt{3}$=1/$\sqrt{3}$

as tan 30 =1/$\sqrt{3}$

on comparing we get A=30 degrees

therefore altitude of ths sun is 30 degrees
