A person whose eyes are 5 feet about the ground is standing on the runway of an airport 100 feet from the control tower. That person observes an air traffic controller at the window of the 132-foot tower. What is the angle of elevation?

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

132-5 therefore the height from the eyes to the window is 127

100 feet away from the base of the tower  

This forms two legs of a triangle

trying to find the degrees of this triangle.

Since its the two legs, you can use tanx which = to opposite side/adjacent side

Therefore, it is tanx = 127/100

But you are looking for x so arctan(1.27)

Must use calculator to find x

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day
