Question

You are standing 23 feet from a building that is 55 ft tall. What is the angle of elevation from where youare standing to the top of the building? Solve for x, the degree of the elevation angle to the nearesttenth.
(1 point)
x = 49.2
x = 76.3
x = 67.3
x = 20.0

Answer 1

Use tan x = opposite/adjacent = 55/23.
x = arctan(55/23) = arctan(2.3913) ≈ 67.3°.
