Question

Trigonometric Ratios
Find h.

Answer 1

h ≈ 62.9 ft

Explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan40° =
`(opposite)/(adjacent)` =
`(h)/(75)` ( multiply both sides by 75 )

75 × tan40° = h , then

h ≈ 62.9 ft ( to 1 dec. place )

Answer 2

63

Explanation:

use tangent formula

`\tan(40) = (h)/(75)`
