Answer:

Angle of elevation from Kim to the satellite launch = 6.654°

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from Kim to the satellite launch

= 6 miles

Height of the satellite launch

= 0.7 miles

Angle of elevation from Kim to the satellite launch = b

Tan b = height of satellite/distance from Kim

Tan b= 0.7/6

Tan b= 0.1166667

b = tan^-1 (0.1166667)

b= 6.654°

Angle of elevation from Kim to the satellite launch = 6.654°
