A tower that is 101 feet tall casts a shadow 105 long. Find the angle of elevation of the sun to the nearest degree.

Answer:
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)
[tex]tan^{-1} x=\frac{101}{105} \\[/tex]
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.
