Question

What is the angle of elevation, in degrees, of the diagonal?

Answer 1

we are given

length =20m

width =10m

Let's assume angle of inclination as theta

so, we can draw diagram

In triangle , we can see that

opposite =7

adjacent=20

now, we can use trig

`tan(\theta)=(7)/(20)`

now, we can solve for angle

`\theta=tan^(-1)((7)/(20))`

`\theta=19.29`..............Answer
