The angle of elevation of the sun, when the length of the shadow of a tree is equal to the height of the tree is?

Answer: 45 degree

Let's denote the height of the tree as h and the length of the shadow as h (since they are equal).

Step 1: Recall the tangent function

tan(θ) = opposite side (height of the tree) / adjacent side (length of the shadow)

tan(θ) = h / h

tan(θ) = 1

Step 2: Find the angle θ

θ = arctan(1)

θ = 45 degrees
