Question

the ratio of the height of a tower and the length of its shadow on the ground is ✓3:1 What is the angle of elevation of the sun ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

60 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of a tower be x

and the length of its shadow on ground be √3x.

Let, the angle of elevation be theta degree.

ATP,

tan theta = length of its shadow / height of tower

tan theta = √3x/x

tan theta=√3

tan theta = tan 60degree

theta = 60 degree

The angle of elevation of the sun is 60 degree
