Question

An ameteur photographer wants to set up is camera to view the sunrise coming over the mountain and needs to know the angle to set up his equipment. If they set up their camera 277 meters from the base of the mountain and the mountain is 331 meters high, what angle should he point his camera from the horizantal. Round to the hundredths. (2 decimal place)

Answer 1

Answer:

50.62. btw i also did the question and got 100 so hope u luck

To find the angle to set up the camera for viewing the sunrise over the mountain, we can use trigonometry. Specifically, we can use the tangent function.

The tangent of an angle is equal to the opposite side divided by the adjacent side in a right triangle. In this case, the opposite side is the height of the mountain (331 meters) and the adjacent side is the distance from the base of the mountain to the camera (277 meters).

So, we can calculate the tangent of the angle as follows:

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(angle) = 331/277

To find the angle itself, we can take the inverse tangent (also known as arctan or tan^(-1)) of this value using a calculator or a math function.

angle = arctan(331/277)

Rounding to two decimal places, the angle to set up the camera is approximately 50.62 degrees.
