Question

From the parking lot at the red hill shopping center, the angle to the top of the hill is about 25°. From the base of the hill angle of elevation to the top of the hill is 55°. The horizontal distance between these two sight points is 740 feet. How high is red hill??

Answer 1

Pictures are always the best thing for geometry/trig problems. We use SOHCAHTOA and find that we must use sin(25)=h/740. You multiply both sides by 740 and enter 740sin25 into ur calculator in degree mode. This is h!
