Answer 1

The angle of elevation is not properly represented

Explanation:

Given

The question in the attachment;

Required

Determine the error

See attachment for proper representation of the angle of elevation;

Solving further (From the Attachment)

`Tan22 = (x)/(3000)`

Multiply both sides by 3000

`x = 3000 * tan22`

`x = 3000 * 0.4040`

`x = 1212`

The cliff is about 1212 feet high
