the answer would be...13.98922974, which of course needs to be simplified. i actually had a similar equation to this except with different numbers. you need to use tangent to figure this out.

Simple angle of elevation word problem?

A simple angle of elevation problem...You want to find out the height of a tree. You measure the distance from you to the base and find that it is 100 feet. You measure the angle of elevation of the top and find that it is 30 degrees. You are six feet tall. How tall is the tree?Answer: The tree is 64 feet tall. Its height is tangent 30 times 100 + 6.


How do you find the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow of a 12 foot flag pole to the top of the pole is 60 degrees?

You can use trigonometry to find the angle of elevation. Let x be the distance from the tip of the shadow to the base of the pole and the height of the pole be y. Then, tan(60 degrees) = y/x. Given that the height of the pole is 12 feet, you can solve for x to find the angle of elevation.


The angle of elevation of the top of a building from a point M away on level ground is 30 degrees. calculate the height of the building?

To calculate the height of the building, we can use the tangent function, which relates the angle of elevation to the opposite side (height of the building) and the adjacent side (distance from the point to the building). If we denote the height of the building as ( h ) and the distance from point M to the building as ( d ), we have: [ \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{h}{d} ] Since (\tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}), we can rearrange the equation to find the height: [ h = d \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 0.577 d ] Thus, the height of the building is approximately 0.577 times the distance from point M to the building.


The ratio of a rod and its shadow is1 1 root 3 what is its angle of elevation?

To find the angle of elevation of a rod given the ratio of its height to the length of its shadow as (1 : \sqrt{3}), we can use the tangent function. The tangent of the angle of elevation ( \theta ) is equal to the ratio of the opposite side (height of the rod) to the adjacent side (length of the shadow). Therefore, ( \tan(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} ). This corresponds to an angle of ( 30^\circ ).


What is the height of a tree if 14 feet away with a 72 degree angle?

To find the height of the tree, you can use trigonometry, specifically the tangent function, which relates the angle of elevation to the height and distance from the tree. The formula is: height = distance × tan(angle). In this case, height = 14 feet × tan(72 degrees), which is approximately 14 feet × 3.0777, resulting in a height of about 43.1 feet.

Work done with an angle of elevation?

the angle of elevation would be the angle between the horizon and the line of sight to whatever object you are measuring to. Lets say for instance that you see a plane, and you determine that it has an angle of elevation of 30 deg. This means that from the horizon, you would need to look up at an angle of 30 degrees to see that plane. below I linked to a diagram which illustrates it quite well. Hope this helped!


The Washington monument is 555 feet tall find the angle of elevation from the top if you view the monument from2640 feet away?

To find the angle of elevation from the top of the Washington Monument to a point 2,640 feet away, you can use the tangent function in trigonometry. The angle of elevation ( \theta ) can be calculated using the formula: ( \tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} ), where the opposite side is the height of the monument (555 feet) and the adjacent side is the distance from the monument (2,640 feet). Thus, ( \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{555}{2640}\right) ), which gives an angle of approximately 12.6 degrees.
