The length of the shadow of the pole = 12 m
Given that the angle of elevation of the sun rays with the ground = 45°
The length of the pole = 12 m
Let the length of shadow formed be x.
In the triangle ABC (in the diagram shown in the file )
=> tan (45°) = length of pole / length of shadow
=> 1 = 12 / x
=> x = 12 m
Length of the shadow = 12 m
