A tree that is 10 yards tall casts a shadow 14 yards long. Find the angle of elevation from the (1 point) tip of the shadow to the top of the tree. Round to the nearest degree.

Question

A. 54°
B. 36°
C. 46°
D. 44°
Thank you

Answer 1

We can use trigonometry to solve this problem. Let's call the angle of elevation x. Then we have:

tan(x) = opposite/adjacent = 10/14

Using a calculator, we find that:

x ≈ 36.87°

Rounding to the nearest degree, we get:

x ≈ 37°

Therefore, the answer is B. 36°.
