A television camera at ground level is filming the lift-off of a space shuttle at a point $a = 925$ meters from the launch pad (see figure).Let θ be the angle of elevation to the shuttle and let s be the height of the shuttle.Write θ as a function of s.
A) $\theta = \arctan \frac { s } { 925 }$
B) $\theta = \arcsin \frac { s } { 925 }$
C) $\theta = \operatorname { arccsc } \frac { s } { 925 }$
D) $\theta = \arctan \frac { 925 } { s }$
E) $\theta = \operatorname { arccot } \frac { s } { 925 }$
