problem
We observe the sun about to set across a lake with ripples. The reflection of the sun in the lake appears to create an ellipse shape. The major axis of the ellipse is oriented vertically and the minor axis of the ellipse is oriented horizontally. The ratio of the major axis to the minor axis is ``. Assuming we are sufficiently far from the lake, find the angle of elevation of the sun, in degrees, rounded to the nearest whole number.
Think step by step and solve the problem below. At the end of your response, write your final answer on a new line starting with “FINAL ANSWER”. It should be an answer to the question such as providing a number, mathematical expression, formula, or entity name, without any extra commentary or providing multiple answer attempts.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
We observe the sun about to set across a lake with ripples. The reflection of the sun in the lake appears to create an ellipse shape. The major axis of the ellipse is oriented vertically and the minor axis of the ellipse is oriented horizontally. The ratio of the major axis to the minor axis is `5.56`. Assuming we are sufficiently far from the lake, find the angle of elevation of the sun, in degrees, rounded to the nearest whole number. Think step by step and solve the problem below. At the end of your response, write your final answer on a new line starting with “FINAL ANSWER”. It should be an answer to the question such as providing a number, mathematical expression, formula, or entity name, without any extra commentary or providing multiple answer attempts.
