Question 794792: From the tip of a shadow cast by a vertical object such as a tree, the angle of elevation of the top of the object is the same as the angle of elevation of the sun. what would the angle be if a 7m tall tree casts a shadow of 18m ?

tan x = opposite side/adjacent side
tan x = 7/18
tan x = 0.38
x = 20.8 degrees.
Hope this helps.
