    The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: " C.) 53.0°"

    The height is 6 feet = 72 inches.

    The base is 55 inches.

    The angle of elevation can be solved by:

    tan (angle) = 72 in / 55 in

    tan (angle) = 1.3091

    angle = 52.62438444

    angle = 53 degrees.
