Let the angle of elevation be θ.


We have a right angled triangle with an opposite of 300.5 ft. (306 - 5.5) and an adjacent of 400 ft. Recalling SOH CAH TOA, tanθ = O/A.
tan(θ) = 300.5/400.
θ = tan^-1(300.5/400).
θ = 36.9°.

Answer: Angle of depression = 33.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of base of the right angle triangle = 450 feet

Length of Frank = 5.5 feet

Length of Statue of Liberty = 306 feet

So, Length of perpendicular = 306-5.5=300.5 feet

So, in triangle , we will apply tangent of triangle:

\tan \theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\tan \theta=\frac{300.5}{450}\\\\\tan \theta=0.6677\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.6677)\\\\\theta=33.7^\circ

Hence, Angle of elevation = 33.7° = Angle of depression (By alternate interior angle).
