Angle of elevation is 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

A child lies on the ground and looks up at the top of the tree which is 9 ft of height.

Child is 13 feet away so we have to calculate the angle of elevation from child to the top of the tree.

Let the angle of elevation is ∅ then

tan ∅ = $\frac{9}{13}$

∅ = $tan^{-1}(\frac{9}{13})$

∅ = $tan^{-1}(0.6923)$

∅ = 34.69° ≅ 35°

Therefore the angle of elevation is 35°
