Question

The ratio of the height of Tower and the length of its shadow on the ground is
√3ratio 1 what is the angle of elevation of the Sun

Answer 1

Answer:

as we know  

tanθ =opp/adj

so tanθ=√3:1

tanθ = tan 60

theta =60

Answer 2

height of tower= opposite side of the triangle

shadow of the tower= adjacent side of the triangle

In a triangle,

tan thetha= opposite side/ adjacent side

= root3/1 (given)

tan thetha =

$\sqrt{3}$

thetha=60 (from the table)

~ hence the angle of elevation of the sun is 60 degrees.
