Find the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground to the top of a tree when a tree that is 10 yards tall casts a shadow 14 yards long. Round to the nearest degree. o 54 degrees. o 36 degrees. o 46 degrees. o 44 degrees

Here is the solution of the given problem above.

Given: Height of tree = 10 yards

Shadow of the tree = 14 yards

? = Angle of elevation of the sun from the ground to the top of the tree

In this problem, we are going to use the inverse tangent trigonometric identity.

The correct answer would be 35.5 degrees. Round this off to the nearest degree and we get 36. Therefore, the correct answer would be 36 degrees.
