Correct option is: C) 5 √3 m
Given that angle of elevation of the sun is \(30^\circ\).
i.e, \(\angle\)CAB = \(\angle\)A = \(30^\circ\)
Height of the tree is BC = 5 cm.
In right \(\triangle\) ABC,
tan A = \(\frac {BC}{AB}\)
= \(\frac {BC}{AB}\) = tan \(30^\circ\) = \(\frac {1}{\sqrt3}\) (\(\because\) \(\angle A=30^\circ\))
\(\Rightarrow AB=BC\sqrt 3=5\sqrt3m(\because BC=5m)\)
Hence, the length of the shadow of the tree is \(5 \sqrt3\) m.
