Find the angle of elevation of the of the sun when a 12.5 meter tall telephone pole cast a 18 meter shadow.

To find the angle of elevation of the sun, we can use trigonometry. In this case, we can use the tangent function.

The tangent of an angle is equal to the opposite side divided by the adjacent side. In this case, the opposite side is the height of the telephone pole (12.5 meters) and the adjacent side is the length of the shadow (18 meters).

So, we can use the equation: tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent.

Plugging in the values, we have: tan(angle) = 12.5/18.

Now, to find the angle itself, we need to take the inverse tangent (arctan) of both sides of the equation to isolate the angle.

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun can be found by calculating the arctan of (12.5/18).

Using a calculator, we find that the arctan of (12.5/18) is approximately 35.98 degrees.

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun is approximately 35.98 degrees.
