The answer is a i think but if u get it wrong im sorry
The distance of the ball from the foot of the tower is : 35.18m
The ball would be moved 57.2m away from the foot of the tower for the Angle of elevation to be halved.
<h3>What is angle of elevation?</h3>
Angle of elevation is the angle formed between the horizontal and the line of view from the vertical.
Analysis:
The height of the tower and the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower form a right angle triangle.
so we use trigonometry.
a) let distance of the ball from foot of tower be x.
so that, tan 52 = 45/x
x = 45/tan52
x = 45/1.279 = 35.18m
b) let the distance of the ball in the new position from the foot of the tower be y.
if the angle of elevation is halved, then new angle is 52/2 = 26°
tan 26 = 45/y
y = 45/tan26 = 45/0.487 = 92.4m
distance moved from old position to new position = 92.4 - 35.18 = 57.2m
In conclusion, the distance of the ball from the foot of the tower and the distance the ball should move to make its elevation 26° are 35.18m and 57.2m respectively.

first take the 3 and place it over the negative one in quadrant 2
It would be 35 because we can assume that both y’s on the left side are parallel to the right side, and so they would have to be a 35 on each side
