The world’s tallest unsupported flagpole is a 282-ft-tall steel pole in Surrey, British Columbia. The shortest shadow cast by the pole during the year is 137 ft long. To the nearest degree, what is the angle of elevation of the sun when casting the flagpole’s shortest shadow? The length of the legs are 282 and 137. The length of the hypotenuse is 108.8

5. Assign the variable x to the angle of elevation. What is the tangent of the angle of elevation?
