The sine of the angle between the ground and the line that connects the top of the shadow to the top of the tree is 10.37 degree

The side-angle-side theorem

According to the theorem above, the sine of the angle between the ground and the line that connects the top of the shadow to the top of the tree is given as;

sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

Given the following

oppoiste side = 9feet

Hypotenuse = 50 feet

Substitute

sin theta = 9/50

theta = arcsin(0.18)

theta= 10.37 degrees

Hence the sine of the angle between the ground and the line that connects the top of the shadow to the top of the tree is 10.37 degrees
