Using the formula: tangent = opposite/adjacent whereas tangent angle = height/ground distance, will help to solve the problem
If you are looking for the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of Qutub Minar, here is a solution. Qutub Minar is 72.5 meters tall. The angle of elevation would equal arctan(72.5/5). It comes out to approximately 86.05 degrees.
By means of trigonometry if you know the angle of elevation or by comparing it with a nearby object if you know its height and shadow length.
The angle of elevation is looking at an object above your line of sight.
It is the alternate angle to the angle of elevation
Angle of elevation tan^-1(14/7) = 63 degrees rounded

tan-1(40/30) = 53.13° Therefore, the sun is at a 53.13° angle of elevation.

WARNING: Do not, under any conditions, look at the sun, directly or indirectly.The find the elevation of the sun, measure the angle that an object's shadow from the sun makes. One way to do this is with a stick in the ground. Assuming the stick is perpendicular to the ground, the ratio of the stick's length to the shadow's length is the tangent of the angle of elevation. Solve for inverse tangent, and you have the angle.

Length of line: 90/cos(22) = 97 feet rounded to nearest the foot
Use trigonometry and the tangent ratio: tan-1(9/13) = 34.69515353 or 35 degrees
By means of trigonometry if you know the angle of elevation or by comparing it with a nearby object if you know its height and shadow length.
Angle of elevation is looking upwards to an object and angle of depression is looking downwards to an object
If we assume the the flagpole makes a 90 degree angle with the ground, then the angle of elevator for the sun is 34.778°
The angle of elevation is looking at an object above your line of sight.
