Answer:
60°
Step-by-step explanation:
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between angles and sides in a right triangle. Here, we're given the side Adjacent and the side Opposite the angle of interest. This makes it appropriate to choose the relation ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
For our angle of elevation α, this means ...
tan(α) = 125/72
α = arctan(125/72) = 60.058°
α ≈ 60°
The angle of elevation is about 60°.

Answer: The largest angle formed during his trip is at the mall between his home and the library.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see image attached) the angle formed between his home and the library is 90°.
The sum of the interior angles of a right triangle is 180°, and the right angle (90°)is the largest angle formed.
So, the largest angle formed during his trip is at the mall between his home and the library.
