Θ = 32.Elevation of Sun = 32.......
A 200m tall building casts a shadow of 317m. What is the elevation of the sun?

-
Height of Building, y = 200 m.
Length of Shadow, x = 317 m.
Angle = Θ

Tan Θ = y / x
Tan Θ = 200 / 317
Tan Θ = 0.6309
Θ = Tanˉ¹ (0.6309)
Θ = 32.25

Elevation of Sun = 32.25°

arctan 200/317 = elevation
