The angle of elevation at which he kicks the ball is; 36.89°

Finding the angle of elevation

We are told that the ball is 12 ft away and so we will consider it to be the horizontal distance.

The post is 8 ft high and so we will consider it to be the vertical distance.

Thus, we can use trigonometric ratio to find the angle of elevation. Thus;

tan θ = 8/12

θ = tan⁻¹0.75

θ = 36.89°

In conclusion the angle of elevation at which he kicks the ball is 36.89°
