Question

Mina is trapped at the top

of a 389 foot tall tower.
If Jonathan is standing
412 feet from the base of
the tower, what is the
angle of elevation from
him to Mina?

Answer 1

We will use the trig ratio tan for this

Tan x°=opposite/adjacent

=>tan^-1(398/412)=x

=>x=44(approximately)

So the angle of elevation is 44°
