Answer:

14.93°

Explanation:

Find the distance, (opposite side) above the basketball player:

distance: 10 ft - 6 ft = 4 ft

Given the distance(adjacent side) from the pole to player:

distance = 15 ft

Using tan rule:


\rightarrow \sf tan(?) = (opposite )/(adjacent)


\rightarrow \sf tan(?) = (4)/(15)


\rightarrow \sf ? = tan^(-1)((4)/(15) )


\rightarrow \sf ? = 14.93^(\circ \:)
