100 ft height tree casts a shadow that is 130 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun?
Angle of elevation: tan-1(100/130) = 37.6 degrees rounded to one decimal place
What is the height of a mountain when from the bottom of a tower 180 meters in height the angle of elevation is 26.42 degrees and from its top the angle of elevation is 25.3 degrees?
By drawing a sketch from the given information then using triangulation and trigonometry the height of the mountain works out as 3704.435 meters rounded to three decimal places.

What is the angle of elevation from the top of a bluilding from a point 165 feet away from the building on ground level is 26 degrees what is the height of the building?
The question is not quite clear but if the angle of elevation is 26 degrees at a distance of 165 feet away from the building then its height is 80.47587711 feet. 165*tan(26) = 80.47587711 feet

6
The angle of elevation to the top of a building from a position on the ground 100 meters from the base of the building is 40 degrees how tall is the building?
tan40=x/100 100tan(40)=83.9m
If the angle of elevation of the sun is 52.6 degrees and the height of a building is 18.6m the building casts a shadow of 12.3m 14.2m 16.4m 14.9m or none of those?
18.6 m/52.6 degrees tan= 14.2
What is the elevation of sea level?

How tall is a building with a 73 ft shadow when elevation of the sun is 31 degrees?
(Height of the building)/(length of the shadow) = tangent of 31° .Height = 73 tan(31°) = 43.9 feet (rounded)
At 10 am on April 26 2000 a building 300 feet high casts a shadow 50 feet long What is the angle of elevation of the sun?
Angle of elevation = 300/50 = 6 tan-1(6) = 80.53767779 degrees or 800 32' 15.64''
Why does the elevation of the sun change from winter to summer?
The earth is tilted 23 degrees in the orbit plane. This results of lower elevation in the winter and greater elevation in the summer.
What happens to temperature as elevation increase?
As elevation increases temperature decreases reaching the coldest altitude (around -90 degrees C). Once you ascend into the Thermosphere (56 miles high) The temperatures will be extremely high, ranging from 200 degrees C up to 500 Degrees C as you climb in elevation.
What is the measure of the angle between the end of the shadow and the vertical side of a 170ft building that cast a 40 ft long shadow?
Using trigonometry the angle of elevation is 77 degrees rounded to the nearest degree
