A building 230 feet tall casts a 40-foot-long shadow. If a person stands at the end of the shadow and looks up to the top of the building, what is the angle of the person's eyes to the top of the building? Assume the person's eyes are 6 feet above the ground and round to the nearest hundredth of a degree.
