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.
