A 30-ft pole casts a shadow as shown in the figure.30 ft(a) Express the angle of elevation 0 of the sun as a function of the length s of the shadow.(b) Find the angle 0 of elevation of the sun when the shadow is 35 ft long. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)An airplane is flying at an elevation of 5150 ft, directly above a straight highway. Two motorists are driving cars on the highway, both on one side of the plane. If the angle of depression to one car is 38° and thatto the other is 53°, how far apart are the cars? (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)ftTo estimate the height of a mountain above a level plain, the angle of elevation to the top of the mountain is measured to be 32°. One thousand feet closer to the mountain along the plain, it is found that theangle of clevation is 36°. Estimate the height of the mountain. (Round your answer to the nearest foot.)ft

Height of pole (h) = 30 ft Length of shadow = s Angle of elevation of sun = θ
