Question

The Eiffel Tower is 324 m tall. If a tourist is looking at it from 100 m away from the base,

what is the angle at which they are tilting their head to see the top?

Answer 1

80,94º

Explanation:

What I've done is, first draw a triangle with a 90º angle and write down the height (324m) and the tourist's distance (100m).

So I calculated the tangent of the angle of the tourist.

The formula is tan=Oposite side/adjacent

`tan=(opposite side)/(adjacent)`

`tan=(324)/(100) =3.24`

And now with your calculator you press "shift" and "tan". Then introduce 3,24 and it will give you the result (80,94º).

I hope it helped.
