Answer:

x = 37 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shown is a right angled triangle;

Opposite = 9

Adjacent = 12

Angle of elevation = x

Using the trigonometry identity

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

tan x = 9/12

tan x = 0.75

x = arctan(0.75)

x = 36.87

x = 37 degrees(no nearest whole number)
