The top of a billboard is 40 feet above the ground What is the angle of elevation of the sun when the billboard casts a 30 foot shadow on level ground?
tan-1(40/30) = 53.13° Therefore, the sun is at a 53.13° angle of elevation.
A wire extends from the top of a building to the ground 90 feet away from the building. The wire creates an angle of elevation of 22 and ordm with the ground. How long is the wire Round to the nearest?
Length of line: 90/cos(22) = 97 feet rounded to nearest the foot
A child lies on the ground and looks up at the top of a 9 ft tree nearby the child is 13 ft away from the tree What is the angle of elevation?
Use trigonometry and the tangent ratio: tan-1(9/13) = 34.69515353 or 35 degrees
What is the relationship between angle and distance?
distance and angle of elevation are closely related as the more closer you move, the half is the angle of elevation. for e.g. if you travel 30m and cover 15m then, the angle of elevation will be half of what you started with. this can be also proved by a live example as when you have the angle of elevation as 90 degree, then the distance can be zero....
What instrument measures angle of elevation and angle of depression?
A sextant.

A building is 60ft high From a distance at A on the ground the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 40 From a lil nearer at B the angle of elevation is 70 Find the distance from A to B?
Using the formula: tangent = opposite/adjacent whereas tangent angle = height/ground distance, will help to solve the problem
How do you find the elevation of the sun?
WARNING: Do not, under any conditions, look at the sun, directly or indirectly.The find the elevation of the sun, measure the angle that an object's shadow from the sun makes. One way to do this is with a stick in the ground. Assuming the stick is perpendicular to the ground, the ratio of the stick's length to the shadow's length is the tangent of the angle of elevation. Solve for inverse tangent, and you have the angle.
What is the Angle of elevation of Qutub Minar when you are at a distance of 5metre using trigonometry?
If you are looking for the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of Qutub Minar, here is a solution. Qutub Minar is 72.5 meters tall. The angle of elevation would equal arctan(72.5/5). It comes out to approximately 86.05 degrees.

What is the difference between angle of Elevation and angle of Depression?
Angle of elevation is looking upwards to an object and angle of depression is looking downwards to an object
How can you calculate height of a pyramid by measuring the length of its shadow?
By means of trigonometry if you know the angle of elevation or by comparing it with a nearby object if you know its height and shadow length.
what is the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 32.4 m long?
If we assume the the flagpole makes a 90 degree angle with the ground, then the angle of elevator for the sun is 34.778°
Which type of objectives have angle of elevation?
The angle of elevation is looking at an object above your line of sight.
What is the relationship between angle and distance?
