A vertical pole(AB) 6 feet long casts a shadow(CB) 55 inches long as shown in the attached image. Since the angle of elevation of sun is . We hav to find the value of
.
Firstly, we will change the dimensions of pole(in feet) to the dimension of shadow( in inches) . So, that the dimensions of pole and shadow are same.
Since, 1 feet = 12 inches.
6 feet = inches.
Now, let us consider the triangle ABC in the attached image,
We have to find
=
= 1.309
