Question

The sun is 27 degree above the horizon. It makes a 60 m long shadow of a tall tree.

Answer 1

Answer:

 h = 30.57 m

Explanation:

given,

angle made with horizon, θ= 27°

Length of the shadow,L = 60 m

now,

the height of the tree would be equal to

$tan \theta = \dfrac{height\ of tree}{shadow\ length}$

$tan 27^0 = \dfrac{h}{60}$

 h = 60 x tan 27°

 h = 30.57 m

hence, height of the tree is equal to 30.57 m
