To find the angle of elevation of the sun when a tower of height 30 m casts a shadow of length \(10\sqrt{3}\) m, we can use trigonometric ratios. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the right triangle We have a tower (height = 30 m) and its shadow (length = \(10\sqrt{3}\) m). This forms a right triangle where: - The height of the tower is the perpendicular side (opposite side). - The length of the shadow is the base (adjacent side). - The angle of elevation of the sun is the angle we need to find. ...
