Angle of Elevation.

Step 1: We shall identify the angle of elevation of the Hill in the diagram.

Step 2: We shall use the appropriate Trigonometrical Ratio to find the angle of elevation.


\sin \theta=(750)/(2000)
\begin{gathered} \sin \theta=0.375 \\ \text{Taking the }\sin ^(-1)\text{ of both sides , we get} \\ \theta=\sin ^(-1)0.375 \\ \theta=22.024\approx22^o \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answer is 22 degrees.
