Question

Please help!!!

Find the angle that your line of sight to the sun makes when looking up at it
(angle of elevation), when a 24 ft tree casts a shadow that is 36 ft long. Round to
the nearest degree. *

Answer 1

34°

Explanation:

Height of the tree=Perpendicular=24ft

Length of shadow=Base=36ft

Tan∅=Perpendicular/Base

Tan∅=24/36

Tan∅=2/3

∅=Tan-¹ (2/3)

∅=33.69°=34°
