Answer:
The angle complies with the state regulations.
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of elevation is the angle [tex]\theta[/tex] in the figure, and from trigonometry we find that
[tex]sin(\theta) = \dfrac{1.5ft}{25ft}[/tex]
taking the inverse sine of both sides we get
[tex]\theta = sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.5ft}{25ft})[/tex]
which gives
[tex]\theta = 3.44^o[/tex]
which is less than 5°, and therefore is well within the state regulations.
