Question

Disney’s Tower of Terror ride in Disney World, Florida is 199 feet tall. If Josh is standing 132 feet from the base of the ride, what is the angle of elevation from the point where Josh is standing to the top of the tower?

Answer 1

Answer: 56.4

Step-by-step explanation: Have a good day!

Answer 2

The required angle of elevation is 56.4°

Explanation:

Let us draw a diagram for the given situation.

Let AB = Disney's Tower

Let Josh is standing at point C 132 feet from the base B

We have to find angle ACB

In right angle triangle ABC,

`\tan\theta=(199)/(132)\\\\\theta=\tan^(-1)((199)/(132))\\\\\theta=56.4^(\circ)`

Thus, the required angle of elevation is 56.4°
