The height of a pole is $2\sqrt{3}$ meters and the length of its shadow is 2 meters. What will be the angle of elevation of the Sun?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Let AB be the pole and AC be its shadow, as shown in the above figure.
Let angle of elevation,ACB=θ
Then, AB=2√3m and
AC=2m
Tanθ = AB/AC =2√3/2 = √3
Since, tanθ = √3,
Θ = 60o
