a tower that is 106 feet tall casts a shadow 135 feet long. find the angle of elevation of the sun to the nearest degree.

Sagot :

The angle of elevation of the sun is [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex](106/ 135).

The angle of elevation:

The angle is formed by the line of sight and the horizontal plane for an object above the horizontal.

Here we have to find the angle of elevation of the sun.

Data given:

length of the tower = 106 feet

shadow form by the tower = 135 feet

The formula for the angle of elevation = height/base

tanФ = height/base

        = 106/ 135

Ф = [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex](106/135)

Therefore the angle of elevation is [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex]( 106/ 135).
