Answer:

=63.9°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angle of elevation using the shadow of an object, we use the trigonometric ratio Tangent.

Tan∅=opposite/adjacent

Opposite is the height of pole while adjacent is the shadow of the pole.

The tan of the angle of elevation= height of the pole/length of shadow

Tan ∅=45/22

∅= Tan⁻¹(45/22)

=63.9°

Angle of elevation=63.9°
