A ramp has a height of five feet and a horizontal distance of 200 ft. What is the angle of elevation?

A 16

(6) 5.5°

(C 25.1°

D

1.4°

€ 2.3°

Answer 1

1.4°

Explanation:

Given that :

Height of ramp, h = 5 feets

Horizontal distance = 200 feets

The angle of elevation :

Using trigonometry :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 5 / 200

Tan θ = 0.025

θ = tan^-1 (0.025) = 1.43

θ = 1.4°
