The angle of elevation from l to k measures 55°. if jk = 26, find jl. round your answer to the nearest tenth.
a. 37.1
b. 21.3
c. 14.9
d. 26.8

The angle of elevation is the degree at which you need to look up, therefore the angle between the dotted line, let's call it LM, and line LK is 5 degrees

Angle JLK and Angle KLM are also complimentary angles, meaning that they both add up to 90 degrees, therefore angle JLK = 90-55=35degrees

Now, SOHCAHTOA comes in handy to find JL. Since we know JLK and JK, this is going to be a breeze.
Since the sides we are using are opposite and adjacent to JLK, we are going to use tan.
So: tan = o/a
however, as we don't know a, we need to rearrange the equation so a is on its own
tan=o/a (times both sides by a)
tan a = o (divide both sides by tan)
a = 0/tan

Now we can solve the equation with the information given
a = 26/tan35
a = 26/0.7
a=37.13184818
=> 37.1

So, you can put down A as your answer :D
