Answer:
along the x it moved 3 and along the y it went 4
Answer:
the angle of elevation of the sun is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make a diagram of the tree, ground and inclination of the rays of the sun, so we understand what right angle triangle we have. Please see the attached image.
Notice that our unknown is the angle 
, and that we know the size of the side opposite to it, and of the side adjacent to it. Therefore the most convenient trigonometric formula to use is the tangent of the angle because:
Draw an imaginary line from the vertex of angle x to the center of the circle.
This divides the 4-sided polygon into two right triangles. For example, the upper right triangle has an acute angle whose measure is 135 degrees / 2, or 67.5 degrees, and the another acute angle whose measure is x/2.
x/2 and 67.5 degrees are complementary angles, so x/2 + 67.5 deg = 90 deg. Thus, x/2 = 22.5 deg, and so x = 45 deg. (answer)
