After a large passenger plane takes off, it climbs at a constant angle of elevation. It travels 29 miles through the air until it reaches a cruising altitude of 7 miles above the ground and then levels off. What is the airplane's angle of elevation, in degrees, while climbing to cruising altitude?

After a large passenger plane takes off, it climbs at a constant angle of elevation. It travels
29 miles through the air until it reaches a cruising altitude of 7 miles above the ground and
then levels off. What is the airplane's angle of elevation, in degrees, while climbing to cruising
altitude?

Figure in plane geometry formed by two rays or lines that share a common endpoint, called the vertex. The angle is measured in degrees using a protractor. The different types of angles are acute, obtuse, right, straight, and reflex.

To estimate the height of a building, two students find the angle of elevation from a point (at ground level) down the street from the building to the top of the building is 38°. From a point that is 250 feet closer to the building, the angle of elevation (at ground level) to the top of the building is 49°. If we assume that the street is level, use this information to estimate the height of the building. The height of the building is feet.
