Question

when the shadow of a pole of 10 m height is 103\sqrt3​m, the angular elevation of the Sun is:

A.

30°

B.

60°

C.

90°

D.

75°

Correct option is A

Given:

Height of the pole = 10 m
Length of the shadow = 103\sqrt{3}​m

Formula Used:

The angular elevation of the Sun, \theta, is given by the tangent function:
tanθ=Height of the poleLength of the shadow\tan \theta = \frac{\text{Height of the pole}}{\text{Length of the shadow}}​​

Solution:

Substitute the given values into the formula:
tanθ=10103=13\tan \theta = \frac{10}{10\sqrt{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}​​

The angle whose tangent is13=30 \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}= 30^\circ​.

Thus, the angular elevation of the Sun is 3030^\circ​.
