Answer:
34°
Step-by-step explanation:
The boy is 5 feet 6 inches tall.
The boy casts a shadow that is 8 feet and 3 inches long.
We know 12 inches equal 1 foot.
Therefore the boy's height is 5.5ft and the shadow is 8.25ft.
The angle of elevation of the sun is given by the tangent of the angle A.
[tex] \tan(A) = \frac{5.5}{8.25} [/tex]
[tex]\tan(A) = 0.6667[/tex]
[tex]A= {\tan}^{ - 1} (0.6667)[/tex]
[tex]A=33.69 \degree[/tex]
To nearest degree is 34°
