Question

Write the expression that can be used tofind the height of the Eiffel Tower.

Answer 1

First, let's picture the problem:

I have represented the height of the Effiel tower as H

Using the trigonometric ratios:

`\begin{gathered} \tan 53^0\text{ = }(H)/(225) \\ H=225*\tan 53^0^{} \end{gathered}`

Hence the required expression is :

`\begin{gathered} \text{Height of tower = d }*\text{ tan}\phi \\ \text{if d is the distance of the base} \end{gathered}`
