Question

Michael is standing in the middle of a playground at night looking at the American flag at the top of the flag pole. If he knows he is 50 feet away from the base of the flag pole and his father told him the pole is 100 feet tall, what is the angle that Michael is looking up relative to the ground?

Answer 1

tan x = 100/50

Answer 2

Tan x=(100/50)
so
X= Tan^-1(100/50), you have to use the inverse of tan
therefore,
x=63.435
