Question

24. To the nearest tenth of a degree, find the angle of elevation of the sunif a building 100 feet tall casts a shadow 150 feet long.a. 60b. 48.2c. 41.8d. 33.7

Answer 1

The diagram can be drawn as,

The angle of elevation can be determined as,

`\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=(100)/(150) \\ \theta=33.7^(\circ) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the angle of elevation of the sun is 33.7 degrees.

Thus, option (d) is correct
