Answer:
66°
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that :
Distance of the satellite from the tower = 2000 m
Height of the satellite above the tower = 4500 m
Therefore the angle of elevation can be found out by :
[tex]$\tan \theta = \frac{4500}{2000}$[/tex]
[tex]$\tan \theta = \frac{9}{4}$[/tex]
[tex]$\tan \theta = 2.25$[/tex]
[tex]$\theta = \tan^{-1}(2.25)$[/tex]
[tex]$= 66 ^\circ$[/tex]
Therefore the tower can make contact with GPS satellite when it pointed at 66° angle.
