Question

disney’s tower of terror ride in disney world, florida is 199 feet tall. if josh is standing 132 feet from the base of the ride, what is the angle of elevation from the point where josh is standing to the top of the tower?

Answer 1

The angle of elevation from the point where josh is standing which is 132 ft away from the tower to the top of the tower which is 199 ft tall is 56.44°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Referring to the figure attached below,

The height of the Disney Tower, AB = 199 ft

The distance between Josh and the tower, BC = 132 ft

Let the angle of elevation for Josh from the point where he is standing to the top of the tower be “θ”.

Now, using the trigonometry properties of triangle in  ∆ABC, is given by

tan θ = $\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

⇒ tan θ = $\frac{AB}{BC}$

⇒ tan θ = $\frac{199}{132}$

⇒ tan θ = 1.5075

taking tan⁻¹ on both sides

⇒ θ = tan⁻¹ (1.5075)

⇒ θ = 56.44°

Thus, the angle of elevation is 56.44° from the point where Josh is standing, to the top of the tower.
