Using the formula: tangent = opposite/adjacent whereas tangent angle = height/ground distance, will help to solve the problem
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.
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.
The angle of elevation is looking at an object above your line of sight.
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
