Question

Just want to make sure that my work is correct

Answer 1

The image below shows the information provided in the question:

Therefore, the triangle to be solved is drawn out to be:

Using the Tangent Trigonometric ratio, we have:

`\tan \theta=\frac{\text{opp}}{\text{adj}}`

Therefore, we have:

`\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=(2455)/(700) \\ \theta=\tan ^(-1)((2455)/(700)) \\ \theta=1.2930\text{ radians} \end{gathered}`

The angle of elevation is 1.2930 radians.
