Question

A tiny but horrible alien is standing at the top of the Empire State Building (which is 443 meters tall) and threatening to destroy the city of New York!

A Men In Black agent is standing at ground level, 18 meters across the street, aiming his laser gun at the alien.
At what angle, in degrees, should the agent shoot his laser gun?

Answer 1

87.7 degrees

Explanation:

tan x = AB/BC

tan x = 443/18

tan x= 24.61111

x = tan^-1(24.61)

x=87.67 and is rounded to 87.7
