Question

A tower that is 106 feet tall casts a shadow 141 feet long. Find the angle of elevation of the sun to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

Answer:37°

Explanation:

Opposite = 106 feet

Adjacent = 141 feet

Opposite / adjacent = tan(Titha)

106 / 141 = tan (titha)

tan(titha) = 0.7518

Tittha(angle) = tan inverse (0.7518)

Titha(angle) = 37°
