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

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.

How do you find a complement?
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
How many degrees are in a stright line?
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.
Where can you find a website showing not the phases of the moon but the relative placement of the moon in the sky?
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 it is found that reflected ray and refracted ray are perpendicular to each other Find angle of refraction How?
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.
Hattiesburg mississippi lies about 31 degrees north where is polaris at 9pm on January 1st?
Polaris, the North Star, is always located at the same angle above the northern horizon as the observer's latitude. So in Hattiesburg, Mississippi (31 degrees north), Polaris would be about 31 degrees above the northern horizon at any time of the year, including 9pm on January 1st. Look due north at that angle to find Polaris.
How do you find the Angle Of Sun When Tree Is 6.25m And The Shadow Is 10.1m Long?
Use the tangent angle of elevation which works out as 31.7497 degrees to four decimal places
How can you find the height of tree?
Using trigonometery if you know the length of its shadow and angle of elevation
Find the angle of elevation of the sun when a flagpole 22.5 m high casts a shadow 34 m long?
Use the tangent ratio: tan = 22.5/34 = 45/68 tan-1(45/68) = 33.49518467 degrees Angle of elevation = 33o29'42.66''
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.
How do you find the angle of elevation of the sun if the shadow of the pole 60 ft tall reaches 92 ft from the pole?
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 lamp pole casts a shadow 49 feet long when the angle of elevation of the sun is 44.8 degrees Find the height of the lamp pole?
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.

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.
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!
