Answer 1

The angle of elevation is 25.8°

Explanation:

hypotenuse = 40; adjacent = 36 . The angle of elevation is between the 40 and 36 or the elevation from the street.

Cos x = 36/40 cos x = adjacent ÷hypotenuse

`cos^1(x) = (36)/(40)`

`cos^1(x) = .9` Use the calculator: TI ( 2ndcos(.9) enter

`x = 25.84`

x ≈ 25.8°
