A boy is 1.5 m tall standing 12 m away a church building which has a tower on top of its roof. The top of the cross on the tower is 14.6 m away from the boy's head (eyes). If the boy has to raise his eyes through an angle of 31° in order to see the top of the roof, calculate: a) the angle through which the boy must raise his eye to see the top of the cross on the tower, correct to the nearest degree. from
