a small coin is thrown off the eiffel tower in paris. It lands 62.5m away from the centre of the base of the 320m- high structure. find the angle of elevation from the coin to the top of the tower

Respuesta :

Answer:

78.9  degrees to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equals the angle whose tangent is 320/62.5 ( opposite side / adjacent side).

The angle of elevation from the coin to the top of the tower

What is angle of elevation?

The angle formed by the line of sight and the horizontal plane for an object above the horizontal.

Given that:

The coin  lands 62.5m away from the center of the base of the 320m- high structure.

Height= 320 m

Base= 62.5 m

Now, tan [tex]\theta[/tex] = [tex]\frac{P}{B}[/tex]

                  =[tex]\frac{320}{62.5}[/tex]

                  = 5.12

               [tex]\theta[/tex]= [tex]tan^{-1} (5.12)[/tex]

               [tex]\theta[/tex]= [tex]78.94^{0}[/tex]

The angle of elevation is: 78.94 degrees.
