Answer:

The angle is 50.2°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tree and its shadow from a right triangle with the tree being the perpendicular and the shadow being the base as shown in the figure attached.

Therefore the angle θ formed by the sun's rays and the ground is:

\theta = tan^-1(\frac{18}{15} )=\boxed{50.2^o}

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the last triangle given in the picture,

x° = 45° + 85° [By the definition of exterior angle of a triangle]

x = 130°

Another way to get the value of x,

By triangle sum theorem,

45° + 85° + y° = 180°

y° = 180° - 130°

y = 50°

And (x° + y°) = 180° [linear pair of angles]

x + 50 = 180

x = 130°

Therefore, x = 130° because 180 - (45 + 85) = 50 and 180 - 50 = 130

Option A is the answer.
