Question

The angle of elevation of the sun is 'θ' and the length of the shadow of a pole of length 'p' is 's'.Then-

(a) p=scosθ (b) p=Ssinθ (c) p=s/cotθ (d) p=scotθ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given anhle of elevation is Φ and

length of pole(hight of pole) is p

length of shadow is s

then cot Φ = adjucent side/ opposite side

= s/p

s/cot Φ = p

option c is right
