Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the sun's angle of elevation.
We have been given that a 6-foot tall man casts a shadow that is 12 feet long.
Upon looking at our attachment we can see that man and his shadow forma a right triangle with respect to ground, where height of man is opposite side and his shadow is adjacent side.
Since tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle with adjacent, so we can set an equation as:
Using arctan we will get,
Therefore, the measure of the sun's angle of elevation is 27 degrees.
