Autility pole is 40 ft tall. the pole creates a 50 ft shadow. what is the angle of elevation of the sun? round your answer to the nearest degree. draw the triangle. show your work.

The angle of elevation of the sun is 38.65°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a utility pole has height=40 ft and it creates a shadow of 5=ft.

Thus, in order to find the angle of elevation of the sun, let the angle of elevation of the sun be α, then

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

Thus, the angle of elevation of the sun is 38.65°.

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
