If the ratio between the length of the shadow of a tower and its height is√3 :1, then what is the angle of elevation of Sun?



Let AB be the tower and BC be its shadow.Let C be the angle of elevation of the sun.Now, BCAB = 31ABBC = 13Now, in ABC,tan C = perpendicularbasetan C = ABBCtan C = 13tan C= tan 30°C= 30°Hence, angular elevation of sun = 30°

60 degree

tan Q = ab/bc
​​tan Q= root 3/ 1
Therefore, Q= 60 degree
