Answer:

[tex]45\degree[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We use trigonometry to find the angle of elevation.

From the diagram, the angle of elevation of the sun is [tex]\angle A[/tex]

Recall the mnemonics SOH CAH TOA.

[tex]\tan A=\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}[/tex]

[tex]\tan A=\frac{5}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\tan A=1[/tex]

[tex]A=\tan^-1{1}=45\degree[/tex]

Therefore the angle of elevation of the sun is [tex]45\degree[/tex]
