32. Use an Inverse Trigonometric Function
A. MOVIES In a movie theater, a 32-foot-tall screen is located 8 feet above ground. Write a function modeling the viewing angle θ for a person in the theater whose eye-level when sitting is 6 feet above ground.
Draw a diagram to find the measure of the viewing angle. Let θ1 represent the angle formed from eye-level to the bottom of the screen, and let θ2 represent the angle formed from eye-level to the top of the screen.
Example 5

33. Use an Inverse Trigonometric Function
So, the viewing angle is θ = θ2 – θ1. You can use the tangent function to find θ1 and θ2. Because the eye-level of a seated person is 6 feet above the ground, the distance opposite θ1 is 8 – 6 feet or 2 feet long.
