Question

Romeo is standing 40

feet away from the base of Juliet's :! tower. If the angle of elevation from the ground to Jullet is 26°, how fall is the tower?

Answer 1

Explanation

Angle of elevation from the ground is 26

Angle between the wall and the elevation is 90-26 = 64

Cos 64 = adj / 40

40 Cos 64 = height of tower

40 x 0.438 = 17.52 ft

Or Sin 26 = height /40

17.52ft

Answer 2

I’m pretty sure it’s tan bc it’s opposite over adjacent. So it’ll be tan=x/40. When x is on top u multiple and when x is on the bottom u divide. 40*tan(26)=19.5 but if round to whole number it’ll be 20.
