    A man stands at point p, 45 metres from the base of a building that is 20 metres high.
    Find the angle of elevation of the top of the building from the man.

    Draw a right triangle ABC where Side A is from the bottom of the building to the man and Side B is the bottom of the building to the top of the building. Using right triangle calculations, we want Angle A which is the angle of elevation.
    Angle of Elevation which is 23.9625°
