In 2005, taipei 101 in taiwan was the world's tallest skyscraper, reaching 509 m above the ground. suppose that at a particular time the building casts a shadow on the ground 1190 m long. what is the sun's angle of elevation at this time? (round your answer to one decimal place.)

answer: 2/4

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
