A flagpole has a shadow measuring 10 meters. Given that the height of the flagpole is 10√3 meters, What is the angle at which the sun is elevated?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 60°.
tan θ = Flag pole height/Shadow = (10√3)/10 = √3
⇒ tan θ = tan 60°
⇒ θ = 60°
