Angle of elevation is equals to 52°7'(approximately).
" Angle of elevation is the angle between the horizontal plane and line of sight from the point of observation."
Formula used
In a right angled triangle,
tanθ = ( opposite side) / adjacent side)
According to the question,
As shown in diagram
Height of the building (AB) = 72m
Distance between base of the building and point of observation
(BC)= 55m
Angle of elevation = θ
Substitute the value in the formula we have,
tanθ = AB / BC
= 72 / 55
⇒ θ = tan⁻¹ (72 /55)
= tan ⁻¹(1.3091)
= 52° 7' (approximately)
Hence, angle of elevation is equals to 52°7'(approximately).
