You are standing 50 meters away from a building... - JSS2 Mathematics Angles Question
You are standing 50 meters away from a building and looking up at its top. The height of the building is 30 meters. What is the angle of elevation to the top of the building?
Using the tangent function:
tan(𝜃)= distance from the building/height of the building
tan(𝜃)=30/50=0.6
To find the angle:𝜃=tan−1(0.6)≈30.96∘
