Question

Ava and Taha are staring up at a UFO. Ava is directly east of the UFO and Taha is directly west. Ava is 205 feet from the UFO and Taha is 195 feet from the UFO. Ava and Taha are 166 feet from each other. Find Ava's angle of elevation to the UFO in degrees.

Answer 1

49.59°

Explanation:

Using trigonometry, we can obtain AVA's angle of elevation to UFO

Using the relation :

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 195 / 166

θ = tan⁻¹(195÷166)

= 49.59°
