71.3°
Step-by-step explanation:
A building 62 feet tall casts a shadow 21 meters long . At what angle is the sun shining on the building?
We solve this question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent
tan x = Opposite/Adjacent
Where
Opposite = 62ft
Adjacent = 21 ft
x = Angle
Hence,
tan x = 62/21
x = arc tan (62/21)
x = 71.288262125°
Approximately = 71.3°
