A soccer player is standing 15 feet from. the goal. The goal post is 25 feet high. What is the angle of elevation from the player's foot to thr top of the goal post?

(TRIGONOMETRY)

Assuming that there are no discrepancies in the problem (foot length; crossbar width; etc.)

We can use the tangent function of the angle.

tan(x)=25/15

(move the “tan”)

x=arctan(25/15)

x = 59.04°
