While visiting a museum, an observer views a painting that is 3 ft high and hangs 6 ft above the ground. See the figure. Assume her eyes are 5 ft above the ground, and let x be the distance from the spot where she is standing to the wall displaying the painting. Find the viewing angle θ, when she is 20 feet away (x = 20).

Draw and label a diagram!
tan θbottom = 1 / 20
tan θtop[ = 4 / 20
θview = θtop - θbottom
