Question

Can someone show the work?

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

`\tan(11^o )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{h}}{\underset{adjacent}{0.25}} \implies 0.25\tan(11^o)=h \implies \stackrel{ miles }{0.0486}\approx h\implies \stackrel{ feet }{257}\approx h`

Make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
