You are standing 350 feet away from a skyscraper that is 750 feet tall. What is the angle of elevation from You to the top of the building

Respuesta :

arc tangent (angle) = 750 / 350
arc tangent (angle) = 2.1428571429
angle = 64.983

Angle of elevation is equals to 64.98degree.

What is angle of elevation?

" Angle of elevation is defined as the angle formed by the horizontal plane and the observation sight of line."

Formula used

[tex]tan\alpha =\frac{opposite side}{adjacent side}[/tex]

Value of tan(2.1428) = 64.98degree

According to the question,

Height of the building = 750feet

Distance between building and observer = 350 feet

'θ' be the angle of elevation

Substitute the value in the formula to get angle of elevation,

tanθ = [tex]\frac{PR}{RS}[/tex]

       = [tex]\frac{750}{350}[/tex]

       = [tex]\frac{15}{7}[/tex]

       = [tex]2.1428[/tex]

Therefore,  

θ [tex]= tan^{-1}(2.1428)[/tex]

  [tex]= 64.98 degrees[/tex]

Hence, angle of elevation is equals to 64.98degree.
