Answer:

  2.64°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Here, the side of the right triangle in this geometry that is adjacent to the angle of elevation is the distance to the volcano: 52 km. The side opposite is the height of the volcano: 2.4 km. Then the angle α is found from ...

  tan(α) = 2.4/52

  α = arctan(2.4/52) ≈ 2.64°

The angle of elevation from Makayla's position is about 2.64°.

Answer:

Solution :-

Since Jennie is standing away so,

[tex] \sf \: \tan( \arctan) = \dfrac{2.4}{52} [/tex]

=> 2.64⁰
