What is the angle of the elevation from the ground to the top of a 45-foot tree from 65 feet away? round to the nearest tenth of a degree.

34.7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle trig problem. The angle in question, the angle of elevation, is the base angle that is NOT the right angle. The height of the tree is the side opposite the angle of elevation, and the distance away from the tree is the measure of the base of the right triangle. So the question, then, is "What is the angle that has a ratio equal to the side opposite the angle over the side adjacent to the angle?" This is the definition of the tangent of an angle. The equation will be set up as follows:

Your calculator needs to be in degree mode when you do this operation. Press 2nd on your calculator then tan and you'll get tan^-1 on your display. This means you are looking for a missing angle. Enter the fraction as 45/65 inside the parenthesis and hit enter and you'll get an angle of 34.69515353. Round to the nearest tenth for 34.7

You will always use the 2nd and sin/cos/tan buttons to find missing angles.
