प्रश्न
The ratio of the height of a tower and the length of its shadow on the ground is `sqrt3 : 1`. What is the angle of elevation of the sun?
उत्तर
Let the height of the tower be h m and the length of the shadow on the ground be l m.
The angle of elevation of the sun from the ground be θ
We have `h:1 = sqrt3:1`
Now In `triangleABC`
=`h/l`
= `sqrt3/1`
= `tan 60^@`
`=> theta = 60^@`
Hence, the angle of elevation of the sun will be 60∘
