Question

. Calculate the angle of elevation measured from a point on the ground to a 50 ft tree that is 20 ft away
from the tree.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be angle of elevation

tanx = 50/20

x = tan inverse (5/2)

Answer 2

The angle of elevation which is measured from a point on the ground to a 50 feet tree that is 20 feet away from the tree is 68 degrees.

Given:

The height of the tree is 50 feet. The distance from a point on the ground to the tree is 20 feet.

To find:

The angle of elevation between a point on the ground to a tree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the required angle of elevation.

Using trigonometric ratios.

We know that, tangent is opposite side divided by adjacent side.

Therefore, we get

tanx = 50/20

Find x.

x = tan inverse (5/2)

x = 68.19859051

Approximately, x = 68 degrees.

Hence, the required angle of elevation is 68 degrees.
