Question

HELP PLZ what's the distance for this question​

Answer 1

`Distance = 770ft`

Explanation:

Given

`Height =986`

`\theta = 52`

Required

The distance between the tower and Eiffel

The distance is calculated using:

`tan\alpha = (Distance)/(Height)`

Where

`\alpha = 90 - \theta` --- the angle between the diagonal line and the vertical line

`\alpha = 90 - 52`

`\alpha = 38`

So, we have:

`tan(38) = (Distance)/(986)`

`Distance = 986 * tan(38)`

`Distance = 986 * 0.7812`

`Distance = 770ft` --- approximated
