Question

Use Right Triangle Trigonometry to solve this problem. Round your answer to the nearest TENTH.

Answer 1

50 ft from the tower

angle=60°

since we know the angle and the Adj leg

we want to solve the Opp leg

then

`tan(\theta)=(Opp)/(Adj)`
`tan(60)=(Opp)/(60)`
`60tan(60)=Opp`
`60√(3)=Opp`
`Opp=103.92304`

Rounded to the nearest tenth

the tower is 103.9 ft tall
