Find the angle of elevation of the sun if a 52.1 foot tower casts a shadow of 67.6 feet long (nearest tenth)
The anwser would be 49.4 degress, would it not? My teacher marked it wrong and put 37.2. Isn't it just inverse sine of 51.3/67.6 or am I doing this wrong? How would you correctly solve this to get 37.2?
