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
The word complement means "something that completes." (That's why it's spelled complement,as opposed to compliment, a favorable comment.) In geometry, the complement is the angle needed to complete a right angle. Thus,90° - known quantity = complement
A right angle is the angle between two perpendicular lines, and, as such, has no area. You could make a right triangle from such an intersection of lines, but you need more info before you can find the area. A right angle is measured as 90 degrees or π/2 radians.
You can use websites like timeanddate.com or moontracks.com to see the moon's current position in the sky. They often provide information on the moon's current location, elevation, and phase for your specific location.
When light is incident on a surface at 30 degrees and the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular, it means the angles of reflection and refraction add up to 90 degrees (since they are complementary angles). Therefore, the angle of refraction can be calculated as 60 degrees by subtracting the incident angle from 90 degrees. This is based on the principle of Snell's Law, which states that the angle of incidence and angle of refraction are related through the refractive indices of the two mediums.
Polaris is within 1/2 of one degree of the North Celestial Pole. If Hattiesburg, MS is at 31 degrees north, then the elevation of Polaris is about 59 degrees - ALL the time. Within 1/2 degree, at any rate.
Use the tangent angle of elevation which works out as 31.7497 degrees to four decimal places
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
Use the tangent ratio: tan = 22.5/34 = 45/68 tan-1(45/68) = 33.49518467 degrees Angle of elevation = 33o29'42.66''
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.
To find the angle of elevation of the sun, we can use the tangent function. The tangent of an angle is equal to the opposite side (height of the tree) divided by the adjacent side (length of the shadow). So, tan(angle) = height of the tree / length of the shadow. Plugging in the values, we get tan(angle) = 40 / 58. Taking the arctan of both sides gives us the angle, so the angle of elevation of the sun is approximately 33.56 degrees.
Providing that the pole is on level ground you have the outline of a right angled triangle with an adjacent side of 92 ft (the shadow of the pole) and a opposite side of 60 ft (the height of the pole). To find the angle of elevation use the tangent ratio. Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent Tangent = 60/92 = 0.652173913 Tan-1(0.652173913) = 33.11134196 degrees Therefore the angle of elevation is 33o correct to two significant figures.
A pole casting a shadow 49 feet long with an angle of elevation of the sun of 44.8 degrees is 50 feet tall. (47.98 rounded to two places)Tangent (theta) = opposite / adjacentTangent (44.9) = X / 49X = 47.98This does not take into account the curvature of the earth, but the error in this example is inconsequential, specifically an elevation error of about 0.015 percent.
the angle of elevation from L to K measures 55 degrees. If JK=26,find JL. roind to the nearest tenth

To find the length of the shadow of the CN Tower when the angle of elevation is 50 degrees, you can use the tangent function. The formula is: shadow length = height / tan(angle). Thus, the shadow length would be approximately 553 meters / tan(50°), which is about 553 meters / 1.1918, resulting in a shadow length of approximately 464 meters.
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.
