Answer 1

45.55 m

Explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the relationship between adjacent and opposite sides of an angle is ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Then the side opposite the angle of elevation will have length ...

tan(26°) = Opposite/(90 m)

Opposite = (90 m)·tan(26°) ≈ 43.90 m

This is the height of the top of the dam above Scarlett's height, so the total height to the top of the dam is ...

43.90 m + 1.65 m = 45.55 m
