Answer:

The angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

height of the tree, h = 96 ft

length of the shadow, L = 120 ft

                                                   |

                                                   | 96ft

                                                   |

                                                   |

       θ------------------------------------

                    120ft

Completing this triangle to cut across the top of the tree gives you a right angled triangle with θ as the angle of elevation of the sun.

Apply trig-ratio to determine the angle of elevation of the sun;

tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side

tanθ = 96 / 120

tanθ = 0.8

θ = tan⁻¹(0.8)

θ = 38.7⁰

θ = 39⁰

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰
