Question

a tower that is 102 ft tall casts a shadow 135 feet long. Find the angle of elevation of the Sum to the nearest degree. The angle of elevation is _____ degrees.

Answer 1

We will find the value of A as follows:

$\tan (A)=\frac{102}{135}\Rightarrow A=\tan ^{-1}(\frac{102}{135})\Rightarrow A\approx37$

So, the angle of elevation is approximately 37°.
