Atower that is 101 feet tall casts a shadow 105 long. find the angle of elevation of the sun to the nearest degree.

x= 43.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off with your ratio. Because we're finding an angle, we'll use -1.

Since it's the opposite and adjacent, TAN is the ratio we're using here.

(tan is opposite/adjacent)

in your calculator, divide 101 and 101

=0.9619

then with this number, hit 2nd and Tan and enter and you will get

x= 43.89

hope i explained this well! i am using the TI-30xa calculator.
