Answer:

352.7 m

Explanation:

Distance from the cliff 2000m

Angle = 10°

How tall is the cliff?

We solve the above question using the trigonometric function of Tangent

tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent

Opposite = x

Adjacent = 2000m

θ = 10°

Hence:

tan 10 = x/2000m

Cross Multiply

x = tan 10 × 2000m

x = 352.65396142 m

Approximately = 352.7 m

The cliff is 352.7 m tall
