Answer:
27 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw this out. Since the altitude is 8000, we can make that the height, and it goes 16000 feet through the air, that can be the length. I have drawn this out, as shown in the image. Note that when drawing, because the airplane is going up and forward, that path should represent the hypotenuse. The angle of elevation is the angle connecting the length and the path, as shown by the angle x in the picture.
We know than tan(x) = opposite/adjacent, so tan(x) here = 8000/16000 = 1/2. Then, arctan(1/2) =x = 27 degrees

Here, the variable
can assume any value, and usually an inequality presented like this has as a stand-in for all real numbers. If we really wanted to make that fact clear, we could write the two inequalities like this:
Formally, you'd read
as " is an element of the set of real numbers," which is a fancy way of saying that can be any real number.
