Nova was flying a drone that she got for her birthday. Nova is 36 yards lower than the drone. The distance from Nova to the drone is 200 yards. What is the angle of elevation?

For the right triangle NDO (look at the image)
\sin \angle OND= (OD)/(ND) = (36)/(200) = (9)/(50).
Then
\angle OND=\sin^(-1) (9)/(50).
