Question

The shadow of a stick of height $1$ metre, when the angle of elevation of the sun is ${60}^o$, will be

• A. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ m
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$ m
• C. $\sqrt{3}$ m
• D. $3$ m

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ m

$\frac{AB}{BC}={\tan 60}^0;BC=\frac{AB}{{\tan 60}^0}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}m$
