Answer: 75.96^{\circ}.

Step-by-step explanation:

By considering the given information we draw a picture to represent the situation ( given in attachment)

Since the tower stands vertical to the ground , therefore , the triangle is a right triangle.

Let x be the angle of elevation from a point 50 feet from the base of the tower to the top of tower.

According to the trigonometry , the tangent of an angle is the ratio of "the side opposite to angle" to "the side adjacent to the angle".

For the triangle below , \tan x=\dfrac{200}{50}=4\\\\ x=\tan^{-1}(4)=1.32581766\ radians\ [\text{By scientific calculator}]\\\\=1.32581766\times\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}\ \\\\=75.9637563^{\circ}=75.96^{\circ}

[Note:To convert radians into degrees we multiply it by 180^{\circ}} and divide it by\pi]

Hence, the angle of elevation from a point 50 feet from the base of the tower to the top of tower is 75.96^{\circ}.

A line of 8cm was measured as 8.04cm what is the percentage error​
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

0.5% error

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the percentage error formula, which is

\frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}\cdot100.

We know that the approximated value was 8.04, however it is actually 8cm, so we can substitute inside the equation.

\frac{|8.04 - 8|}{8}\cdot100 \\\\\frac{0.04}{8}\cdot100 \\\\0.005\cdot100 \\\\0.5

Hope this helped!
