This situation can be considered as a piecewise function. First, you take xo as the time in which the drone goes upward. Before this time the height of the drone is constant with a value of 5 m. Next, you take into account that during 1.9 s after xo the drone accelerates. Finally, the drone flies again with a constant height of 5.9m. Hence, this function has three parts:

For the first part you have:

y = 5 for x < xo

For the second part you first calculate vertical speed (which means the slope of the linear function) by using the following kinematic equation:

$y=vx\\\\v=\frac{y-y_o}{x}=\frac{5.9m-5.0m}{1.9s}=0.47m/s$

Then you have:

y = 0.47x for xo < x < xo + 1.9s

And for the third part:

y = 5.9 for x > xo + 1.9s

Summarizing you obtain:

$y=5 \ \ \ x x_o + 1.9s$

Solve for the value of x.

Find out what angle it is. then add all sides abs subtract the total degrees and it’s your answer!
