KeerthanaPosted on The shadow of a tower is 3\sqrt{3}3 times its height. Then the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is a45° b30° c60° d90° Answer : Option BExplanation : AB = Tower = x units BC=\mathrm{BC}=BC= Shadow =3x=\sqrt{3} x=3x units tanACB=ABBC=x3x=13=tan30∘\quad \tan \mathrm{ACB}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{BC}}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{3} x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\tan 30^{\circ}tanACB=BCAB=3xx=31=tan30∘ ∴∠ACB=30∘\therefore \angle \mathrm{ACB}=30^{\circ}∴∠ACB=30∘ Rate This:NaN / 5 - 1 votesAdd comment
