Question

GUYS HELP ME PLS. Tina is standing at the bottom of a hill. Matt is standing on the hill so that when Tina's line of sight is

perpendicular to her body, she is looking at Matt's shoes.
a. If Tina's eyes are 5 feet from the ground and 14.5 feet from Matt's shoes, what is the angle of elevation of
the hill to the nearest degree?

Answer 1

71°

Explanation:

The angle of elevation of the hill can be obtiaed using trigonometry :

Given

the opposite length = 14.5 feets

Adjacent = 5 feets

The angle of elevation vabnbe obtained using :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Where θ = angle of elevation

Tan θ = 14.5 / 5

Tan θ = 2.9

θ = tan^-1(2.9)

θ = 70.97 = 71°
