A photographer has been commissioned to take a series of photographs of a rocket being launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They have positioned their camera at (B) and the launching pad of rocket (A) is 300 meters. The camera must keep the rocket in sight and therefore its angle of elevation t must change with the height x of the rocket.


Find angle t as a function of the height x.

Find angle t in degrees when x is equal to 150, 300, and 600 meters. (approximate your answer to 1 decimal place).

Graph t as a function of x.
