At some time of the day, the length of the shadow of a tower is equal to its height. Find the sun's altitude at the times.

In a right-angle triangle,

tan θ = Opposite side Adjacent side .

Suppose the length of the shadow be x.
So,

tan θ = x x ⇒ tan θ = 1 ⇒ θ = 45 °

Therefore, the sun’s altitude at that time is

45 °

Therefore, the correct option is 4
