The angle of elevation of the Sun, when the length of the shadow of a tree is $\sqrt{3}$ times the height of the tree, is: |
30° 45° 60° 90° |
30° |
Let the length of the tree be 1 unit Length of shadow = √3 times length of the tree = √3 unit Tan θ = Perpendicular / Base = 1 / √3 Tan θ = Tan 30° ∴ θ = 30° |
