Question

the ratio of the height of a vertical pole and it's shadow length on the ground is 1:root 3. find the angle of elevation of the sun?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the angle between the vertical pole and the shadow be A

so

we know...

tanA= height/base

Hence

tan A=1/root3

and tan 30=1/root 3

so..

tan A=tan 30

or A=30

Angle of elevation is 30°

Answer 2

Answer:

angle of elevation is 30⁰
