Question

The length of shadow of a tower on the plane ground is √3 times the height of the tower. The angle of elevation of sun is
A. 45°
B. 30°
C. 60°
D. 90°

Answer 1

Answer:

angle of elevation=30

Step-by-step explanation:

let height of the shadow be x.

then length of the shadow=

$\sqrt{3} x \\ then \: \tan( \alpha ) = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \alpha = 30$
