Answer:
[tex]x=24.44^{\circ}[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
German U-boats would dive 150 meters below the surface. If an enemy ship was 330 meters away on the surface.
We need to find at what angle of elevation x should the U-boat shoot to hit the ship.
150 m is the height, 330 m is the base of the right angle triangle. We can find the angle of elevation as follows :
[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\tan x=\dfrac{150}{330}\\\\x=24.44^{\circ}[/tex]
So, the angle of elevation is [tex]24.44^{\circ}[/tex].
