To find the angle of elevation of the helicopter from the car, we use the sine function to relate the opposite side (height of the helicopter) to the hypotenuse (distance from the helicopter). The calculation shows that the angle is approximately 30.25°. This involves using the formula θ = arcsin ( 45 24 ​ ) to find the angle in degrees.
