Why are we considering BC as the length of the shadow instead of AC? Isn't the shadow supposed to be the base?
Please explain me.

How can say that cot 30°? tan 60 is not compatitable at all I think sin60 or cos60 would be right choice.

AB/AC = Tanθ.
From the question,
AB/√3AB =Tanθ
1/√3 = Tanθ
θ = 30°.
From the question,
AB/√3AB =Tanθ
1/√3 = Tanθ
θ = 30°.
