Detailed Solution

Given that a 6 m high flagstaff is placed on the top of a tower which throws a shadow of

23 m

.
We have to find the angle of elevation.
In a right-angle triangle,

tan θ = Opposite side Adjacent side

Consider the figure,
If a flag - staff of 6m height placed on the top of a tower throws a shadow of 2â(3) m along the ground, then what is the angle that the sun

If a flag - staff of 6m height placed on the top of a tower throws a shadow of 2â(3) m along the ground, then what is the angle that the sun

So,

tan θ = 623 = 3 ⇒ tan θ = tan 60 ° ⇒ θ = 60 °

Therefore, the angle of elevation is

60 o .

Therefore, the correct option is 1.
