Question

Tyler is observing the ascent of a steel beam being lifted by a crane from a position about 250 ft away. What trigonometric function models the height h in feet of the beam as a function of the angle of inclination θ from Tyler's position to the steel beam

Answer 1

Answer:
`h=250 \tan \theta`

Explanation:

Given

Tyler is 250 ft away from the crane

The angle of inclination is
`\theta`

Using the figure, we can write heigh h as

`\Rightarrow \tan \theta =(h)/(250)\\\\\Rightarrow h=250\tan \theta`
