If height of a pole is 9 m and the angle of elevation of the sun is 60°, then what is the length of its shadow (in m)? |
$\sqrt{3}$ $3 \sqrt{3}$ $9 \sqrt{3}$ 9 |
$3 \sqrt{3}$ |
tan60º = √3 = \(\frac{AB}{AC}\) \(\frac{9}{AC}\) = √3 AC = \(\frac{9}{√3 }\) = 3√3 The correct answer is Option (2) → $3 \sqrt{3}$ |
