    =63.9°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find the angle of elevation using the shadow of an object, we use the trigonometric ratio Tangent.

    Tan∅=opposite/adjacent

    Opposite is the height of pole while adjacent is the shadow of the pole.

    The tan of the angle of elevation = height of the pole/length of shadow

    Tan ∅=45/22

    ∅ = Tan⁻¹ (45/22)

    =63.9°

    Angle of elevation=63.9°
