The angle of elevation is 2.17°

Step-by-step explanation:

First change value in miles to value in feet

1 mile =5280 ft

50 miles = 5280*50 =264000 ft

Apply the formula for tangent of an angle where the opposite side is 10,000 ft and the adjacent side is 264000 ft

Tan Ф = O/A

= 10,000/264000

=0.03787878787

Tan ⁻(0.03787878787) = 2.17°
