Answer:
[tex]\theta=61.68^{\circ}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The height of a tower, h = 103 feet
The height of its shadow, H = 117 feet
The height of tower is perpendicular and the height of shadow is hypotenuse of a right angled triangle. We can use trigonometry such that,
[tex]\sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{H}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{103}{117})\\\\\theta=61.68^{\circ}[/tex]
So, the angle of elevation of the sun is equal to [tex]61.68^{\circ}[/tex].
