A boy 14 m tall, stood 10m away from a tree of height 12 m. Calculate, correct to the nearest degree, the angle of elevation of the top of the tree from the...

Answer Details

The angle of elevation

= Tan θ = oppadj $\frac{\mathrm{<br>}}{}$

Tan θ = 12+1410 $\frac{\mathrm{<br>}}{}$

Tan θ =  2610 $\frac{\mathrm{<br>}}{}$

θ = Tan−1 ${}^{<br>}$(2.6)

θ ≈ 70º
