Q.If the length of a pillar's shadow is equal to its height, the angle of elevation of the sun will be- (a) 30° (b) 60° (c) 45° (d) 90°
Answer: C
Height of the pillar = perpendicular
And length of the shadow = base

∴ If the angle of elevation is θ, then
tanθ = perpendicular/base = 1 = tan45°
∴ θ = 45°
