Question

Find the angle of evelation of the sun when the shadow of a pole $h$ meter high is $\sqrt{3}h$ meters long

Answer 1

h$\to$ height of the pole

$\sqrt{3}h\to$ shadow of the pole

$\theta \to$ angle of elevation

$\tan \theta =\frac{h}{\sqrt{3}h}$

$\tan \theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

$\theta ={30}^o$.
