Answer:

43.95963871

Explanation:

I used the tangent. Tangent is opposite over adjacent sides. To set it up, tan(7)=opp/16

move around to get opp=(16)tan(70)

opp=43.95963871

nearest whole height= 44 ft

Explanation:

Step 1: List out all of the formulas for the trigonometric functions

sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse

cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse

tan(x) = opposite/adjacent

Step 2: Find the equation for h

tan(70) = h / 16

16 * tan(70) = h

Step 3: Solve for h

h = 16 * tan(70)

h = 43.9596

h = 44 ft

Answer: 44 ft
