tan θ = Perpendicular/Base
Calculation:
Let the height of the tree be x
⇒ Length of the shadow of three = x
From the following figure,
AB is the height of the tree and BC is shadow of the tree.
⇒ AB = x and BC = x
tan C = AB/BC
⇒ tan C = x/x
⇒ tan C = 1
⇒ tan C = tan45°
⇒ C = 45°
∴ The angle of elevation of the sun 45°.
