Amy looks up to the 8-foot basketball hoop as shown. if the vertical distance from the ground to amy’s eyes is 5.9 feet, what is the angle of elevation from amy to the hoop? round the answer to the nearest tenth.

To answer this question, you need to have an idea about how to handle trigonometric equations, sin, cos and tan

Amy looks up to the 8-foot basketball
8 feet - 5.9 feet = 2.1
= 2.1 inverse tan (2.1 / 22)
= 5.4526

Elevation to the nearest tenth = 5.5 feet
