The angle of elevation of the light source is mathematically given as
[tex]\theta= 40.36[/tex]
What is the angle of elevation of the light source?
Question Parameters:
A 170-cm creature casts a shadow of 200 cm.
Generally, the equation for the Trigonometry problem is mathematically given as
Where
170-cm creature is the height
Shadow of 200 cm is the adjacent side
[tex]tan\theta=\frac{opp}{adj}[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]tan\theta=\frac{170}{200}\\\\tan\theta=0.86[/tex]
[tex]\theta= 40.36[/tex]
In conclusion, the angle of elevation is
[tex]\theta= 40.36[/tex]
