Answer:

x ≈ 69.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation is the measure of angle x

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle

sin x = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{15}{16}[/tex] , then

x = [tex]sin^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\frac{15}{16}[/tex] ) ≈ 69.6°

The angle of elevation is 69.6° ( to the nearest tenth )
