b. Distance from the Eiffel Tower
Find: x (Height of the Eiffel Tower)

2. Choose the correct trig ratio.
c. Tangent (tan)

3. If necessary, rearrange the variables to solve the unknown.
d. tan(a) = x / b

4. Substitute the given information and work the problem.
e. tan(a) = x / b
x = tan(a) = * b

5. Round your final answer to the nearest meter and add the units of measurement.
f. The height of the Eiffel Tower is approximately x meters
