Angle of elevation = 300/50 = 6
tan-1(6) = 80.53767779 degrees or 800 32' 15.64''

When the angle of elevation on of the sun is 75 degree a building casts shadow of 125 feet how tall is the degree?
If you mean the height of the building then it works out as 466.5063509 feet
How tall is a flag pole if the shadow is 15 feet?
That depends on the angle of elevation which has not been given.
A woman casts a shadow that is 8.8 feet long how tall is the woman?
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
What is the angle of elevation of the sun when a woman 1.5 meters tall casts a shadow of 2.9 meter shadow?
It is: 27.35 degrees rounded to two decimal places
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.
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
When the angle of elevation on of the sun is 75 degree a building casts shadow of 125 feet how tall is the degree?

Suppose you know the height of a flagpole on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay and that you know the length of its shadow How do you calculate the angle of elevation?
If you also know its shadow then you can work out the angle of elevation
How do you determine the angle of elevation of a building?
yes
At a certain distance the angle of elevation to the top of a building is 60 From 40ft further back the angle of elevation is 45 Find the height of the building?
Angle of elevation: tangent angle = opposite/adjacent and by rearranging the given formula will help to solve the problem
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
How can you find the height of tree?
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
How do you do igcse math project?
you could do a model showing the angle of elevation and angle of depression of a building
How tall is a flag pole if the shadow is 15 feet?
That depends on the angle of elevation which has not been given.
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.
A woman casts a shadow that is 8.8 feet long how tall is the woman?
Your missing the angle of elevation or depression.
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?
is that the entire question because you already gave the angle, meaning you now have every angle for the triangle created by the pole and shadow
