If the height of a tower is √3 and the length of its shadow on the ground is 1 what is the seize of the anglo of elevation of sun
Let x be the size of the angle of elevation of the sun.
Based on the information given, we can create a right triangle where the height of the tower is the opposite side and the length of its shadow is the adjacent side.
Using trigonometry, we can set up the following equation:
tan(x) = opposite / adjacent
tan(x) = √3 / 1
tan(x) = √3
To solve for x, we take the inverse tangent of both sides:
x = tan^-1(√3)
x = 60 degrees
Therefore, the size of the angle of elevation of the sun is 60 degrees.
