Question

a tower that is 102 ft tall casts a shadow 135 feet long. Find the angle of elevation of the Sum to the nearest degree. The angle of elevation is _____ degrees.

Answer 1

We will find the value of A as follows:

`\tan (A)=(102)/(135)\Rightarrow A=\tan ^(-1)((102)/(135))\Rightarrow A\approx37`

So, the angle of elevation is approximately 37°.
