Question 387473
 Monday night football has a camera 40ft high on a goalpost. If Ted is 180ft from the goalpost, what is the angle of elevation from his feet to the camera? 
-----------------
Draw the figure.
You should have a right triangle
with a base of 180 ft and altitude
of 40 ft.
-----------------
the angle = tan^-1(40/180) = 12.53 degrees
