A person whose eyes are 5 feet above the ground is standing on the runway of an airport 100 feet from the control tower. That person spots one of the air traffic controller at the window of the 132 foot tall tower. What is the angle of elevation to the nearest tenth of a degree?

132-5 therefore the height from the eyes to the window is 127

100 feet away from the base of the tower  

This forms two legs of a triangle

trying to find the degrees of this triangle.

Since its the two legs, you can use tanx which = to opposite side/adjacent side

Therefore, it is tanx = 127/100

But you are looking for x so arctan(1.27)

Must use calculator to find x.

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2

ask the math teacher she or he would know lol.
