By using trigonometric relations, we will see that the angle of elevation must be 55°.

<h3>How to find the angle of elevation?</h3>

We can see this as a right triangle, where one cathetus measures 1250ft (altitude) and the other cathetus measures 875ft.

The angle of elevation is the angle such that the adjacent cathetus is the one measuring 875ft.

Then we can use the relation:

tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus)

tan(a) = 1250ft/875ft

To find the angle of elevation, we can use the inverse tangent function:

a = Atan(1250ft/875ft) = 55°

The angle of elevation must be 55 degrees.

Gabrielle's age is three times Mikhail's age. The sum of their ages is 56, what is Mikhail’s age?
4vir4ik [10]
Gabrielle's age is 3x (in which x is mikhail's age)
the sum is 56 so 3x+x=56

3x+x=56
4x=56
x=14

since x was mikhail's age, mikhail is 14 years old
