Jack is standing on the top of the high diving board at the local pool which is 50 feet high. His friend Diane is in the water. The direct (diagonal) distance from Jack to Diane is 75 feet. What is the angle of elevation from Diane in the water to Jack on the diving board? Draw a picture that represents this situation and show all your work to solve. Round your answer to the nearst WHOLE degree.
