Question

The distance to the top of the flagpole from where the student is standing is 240 feet. What is the approximate angle of elevation to the top of the flagpole?

Answer 1

answer is 1.566 deg

Explanation:

The angle of elevation is given by the formula

tanθ = height/distance

tanθ = H/ 240

tanθ × 240 = H

θ =( tan∧-1) 240

= 1.566 deg
