Answer:

0.02degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Length of the river (adjacent) = 1352km = 1352000m

Height of the source (opposite) = 453m

Required

angle of elevation theta

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

tan theta = 453/1352000

tan theta = 0.0003351

theta = arctan(0.0003351)

theta = 0.02 degrees

Hence the Brazos river flows at an angle of 0.02degrees to the nearest hundredth
