The angle of elevation from the boat to the top of the lighthouse is 16⁰.

Angle of elevation of the boat

The angle of elevation of the boat is calculated as follows;

tanθ = opposite side/adjacent side

where;

  • θ is the angle of elevation

tanθ = 34/122

tanθ = 0.2787

θ = arc tan(0.2787)

θ = 16⁰

Thus, the angle of elevation from the boat to the top of the lighthouse is 16⁰.
