A pole 6 m high casts a shadow 2 3 m long on the ground, then find the angle oi elevation of the sun.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We can draw a triangle with the given details.
Please refer to video for the diagram.
From the diagram,
`tan theta = `Height of pole/Shadow of pole
`=>tan theta = 6/(2sqrt3) = sqrt3`
`=> theta = 60^@`
`:.` Angle of elevation of sun will also be equal to `theta` and its value will be `60^@`.
