Question

1)Find the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground when a tree that is

Answer 1

Answer:

$\theta=41.18^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of the tree, h = 14 ft

The height of the shadow, b = 16 ft

We need to find the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground. Let the angle be θ. We can use trigonometry to find it. So,

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{14}{16}\\\\\theta=41.18^{\circ}$

So, the required angle of elevation of the sun is equal to $41.18^{\circ}$.
