Question

an observer 1.5 meters tell is 20.5 meters away from a tower 22 meters high determine the angle of elevation of the top of the tower form the eye of the observer.

Answer 1

Hello!

• Height of tower = 22 m
• Height of observer = 1.5 m

Then,

tan x = (22 - 1.5) / 20.5 = 1

∴ x = 45°

Hence,
The angle of elevation is 45°
