Question

The shadow of a tower is equal to its height at 10:45 am. The sun altitude is

Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Altitude of the sun = 45°

● Explanation -

Suppose θ be altitude of the sun.

Tanθ is given by -

tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side

tanθ = height of tower / shadow of tower

As height = shadow at 10:45 am,

tanθ = 1

Taking tan inverse,

θ = arctan(1)

θ = 45°

Hence, altitude of the sun is 45°.
