Answer:

tan θ = opposite / adjacent

tan θ = 65 / 30

tan θ = 2.1667

Now, we can use the inverse tangent (tan⁻¹) function to find the value of θ:

θ = tan⁻¹(2.1667)

θ = 65.13° (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun from the tip of the shadow is approximately 65.13 degrees.
