Charo is 50 feet from the tallest totem pole, located in Alberta Bay, Canada, which has a height of 173 feet. If Charo’s eyes are 5 feet from the ground, find the angle to the nearest degree of elevation for her line of sight to the top of the totem.
i figured i would use the sin function
+130511 Note that Charo's line of sight is 5 ft up the pole, so we have that the angle of elevation = opposite side/ adjacent side = 168/50
What function relates the opposite and adjacent??
Take the inverse of this function to find your answer.......
See if you can find the solution.....if you have trouble.....let us know
