Question

Can someone help me with this problem:)

Answer 1

Therefore,

93.6 feet tall is the tower from the ground.

Explanation:

Given:

x = Opposite side to angle 60

50 ft = Adjacent side to angle 60

7 ft = height of boy

So Height of the tower will be,

`Height\ of\ tower=x+7`

To Find:

Height of the tower = ?

Solution:

In Right Angle Triangle , Tangent Identity we have,

`\tan 60= \frac{\textrm{side opposite to angle 60}}{\textrm{side adjacent to angle 60}}`

Substituting the values we get

`1.732= (x)/(50)\\\\x=86.6\ ft`

Substituting "x" For Height of tower we get

`Height\ of\ tower=86.6+7=93.6\ ft`

Therefore,

93.6 feet tall is the tower from the ground.
