Answer:

The angle of elevation from the ground to the plane is 11.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Horizontal distance from the point of takeoff to which the plane flies in a straight line = 4000 feet

The vertical distance travelled from the ground to the plane is 800 feet

Angle of Elevation

[tex]Sin X= \frac{800}{4000} \\X = Sin^{-1}\frac{800}{4000}\\X = 11.5[/tex]

The angle of elevation from the ground to the plane is 11.5 degrees
