A tower 150 ft in height casts a shadow 50.5 ft long.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the angle of elevation of the sum.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We can use the tangent here.
\n" ); document.write( "height of the bldg = Side opposite
\n" ); document.write( "shadow = side adjacent
\n" ); document.write( "A = the angle
\n" ); document.write( "tan(A) = \"150%2F50.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "Using your calc find the arcTan
\n" ); document.write( "A = 71.4 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
