Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Please refer the diagram I have attached.

Let us suppose the sun has angle of elevation x

The triangle formed will be a right triangle, so

tan x= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

tanx = \frac{6}{8}

taking tan inverse

x=tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{8} )

x=36.87

To the nearest degree, the angle will be 37 degrees.  :   Answer

Hope it will help :)
