Question

Q.16.A vertical pole of 6m high casts a shadow

of 2√3 m long on the ground.Find the suns elavation
​

Answer 1

Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the pole= 6 m

Length of shadow= 2root 3m

Therefore, elevation of Sun= 6/2root3

= root3

tan60= root3

Therefore, ang look e ifelevation of Sun = 60 degrees

Answer 2

Answer: 60°

Explanation:

tan theta = perp. / base

tan theta = 6 / 2√3

tan theta = 3 / √3

tan theta = √3

so, theta = 60°
