You are standing 350 feet away from a skyscraper that is 750 feet tall. What is the angle of elevation from You to the top of the building

Verified Answer :

arc tangent (angle) = 750 / 350

arc tangent (angle) = 2.1428571429


angle = 64.983



Angle of elevation is equals to 64.98degree.

What is angle of elevation?

" Angle of elevation is defined as the angle formed by the horizontal plane and the observation sight of line."

Formula used

\(tan\alpha =\frac{opposite side}{adjacent side}\)

Value of tan(2.1428) = 64.98degree

According to the question,

Height of the building = 750feet

Distance between building and observer = 350 feet

'θ' be the angle of elevation

Substitute the value in the formula to get angle of elevation,

tanθ = \(\frac{PR}{RS}\)

       = \(\frac{750}{350}\)

       = \(\frac{15}{7}\)

       = \(2.1428\)

Therefore,  

θ \(= tan^{-1}(2.1428)\)

  \(= 64.98 degrees\)

Hence, angle of elevation is equals to 64.98degree.
