Question

a man standing on ground level is 1000 feet away from the base of a 350 feet tall building. Find,to the nearest degree,the measure of the angle of elevation to the top of the building from the point on the ground where the man is standing?

How do you solve for this measurement?
I don't know the angle of elevation formula.
can you help?
Thanks
You don't need an "angle of elevation formula"
Just make a sketch and use your basic trig ratios

I see it as
tan Ø = 350/1000 = .35
Ø = appr 19.26°
