Question

A fire sits 72 feet from the abs of 125 foot tall building. Find the angle of Evel at ion from the fire to the top of the building

Answer 1

Answer:

60°

Explanation:

From the attachment,

Opposite side of the triangle= 125 feet

Adjacent=72 feet

Angle of elevation= (θ)

From trigonometry,

Tan (θ)= Opposite side /Adjacent adjacent

Where

(θ)=angle of elevation

If we substitute to above expresion we have

tan(θ)= 125/72

tan(θ)= 1.736

Tan^-1(1.736)=60°

θ= 60°

Hence, the angle of Evel at ion from the fire to the top of the building is 60°
