Question

The ratio of length of a rod and its shadow is 1:√3 . Find the elevation of sun?? 30°, 45˚, 60°, 90°

Answer 1

•°•The elevation of the sun is at 30°

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB be the pole and BC be its shadow.

Given that AB/BC = 1/√3

Let ACB be the angle of elevation.

In triangle ABC,

X is equal to theta

tan x = AB/BC

tan x = 1/√3

tan x = tan 30

X = 30
