Question

the height of the tower is 200m when the elevation of the sun is 30 degrees then the length of its shadow is​

Answer 1

Answer:

tan 30 = height of tower/ length of shadow

$\frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{200}{x}$

$x = 200 \sqrt{3}$

length of shadow

$= 200 \sqrt{3}$

Answer 2

Answer:

let the formed triangle be ABC

A being the point where the shadow of the top point of tower touches the ground

B being the point where the tower touches the ground and the last point being C

.'.tan 30= 200/AB=1/root3

.'.AB = 200root3 metre
