The angle of elevation of the sun relative to an observer standing at the tip of the shadow is 16.9°.

What is trigonometry?

The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle is termed trigonometry.

Given that:-

  • A cell phone tower that is 70 meters tall is built on level ground and casts a shadow 230 meters long at a particular moment.

The angle of elevation will be calculated by applying trigonometric property in the triangle given below;-

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}[/tex]

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{70}{230}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=tan^{-1} (\dfrac{70}{230})[/tex]

[tex]\theta[/tex] = tan[tex].^{-1}[/tex](0.3043)

[tex]\theta[/tex]  = 16.9

Therefore angle of elevation of the sun relative to an observer standing at the tip of the shadow is 16.9°.
