The angle here is an acute angle at ground level.  Then the side adjacent to this angle is 126 feet.  The opp. side is the tower, 111 feet tall.

Then   

tan theta = opp / adj = 111 / 126.  Using the inverse tangent function, we find that the measure of the angle is 0.722 radian or 41 degrees (to the nearest degree).

How do you determine a scale factor for two similar figures? <br> 15 points
mr_godi [17]

the scale factor or ratio of two similar figures, will be the same as the ratio of their perimeter, or even the ratio of two corresponding sides.


for example, we have say, an irregular octagon with a perimeter of say 13, and a similar octagon with a perimeter of 39, then


\bf \cfrac{\textit{small octagon}}{\textit{large octagon}}~\hspace{5em}\cfrac{perimeter}{perimeter}\implies \cfrac{13}{39}\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{1}{3}}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{scale factor}}{1:3}


which is another way to say, the smaller is 1/3 of the larger one, or the larger one is 3 times as the smaller one.
