[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{24}{32}\implies\theta\approx37^\circ[/tex]

Answer:

37 °

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed with the legs of the triangle as 24 foot and 32 foot. let x be the angle of elevation of sun.

For angle x the adjacent side is 32 foot and the opposite side is 24 foot.

Tanx=[tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

Or Tanx =[tex]\frac{24}{32}[/tex]

[tex]x=Tan^{-1}\frac{24}{32}[/tex]

x=36.86 degrees.

x=37 degrees.

The angle of elevation of the sun  is 37°.
