Question

If ratio bwthe hieght of a vertical tower and the lenght of its shadow is √3:1 find sun's altittude

Answer 1

by phythagorus theorem

square root3 +1 = sun,'s altitude

that is 3+1= sun's altitude

then it becomes 2

hence it is proved

Answer 2

Answer:60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sun's altitude be x,

W K T,

tan(x) = opposite side / adjacent side

tan(x) = √3 / 1.......(1)

W K T,

tan60°=√3/1.........(2)

From (1) and (2),

x = 60°

Therefore, sun's altitude is 60°.
