Moors is standing 80m from the base of a tower . The angle of levitation is 63.15. Calculate the height of the tower to the nearest metre

Question

I didn't know what to put for description 

Answer 1

tan 63.15 = height/80

 

height = 80* tan 63.15 = 158

 

 

To prove the answer is correct, keep reading

---------------------------------

check:

  cos 63.15 = 80/hypotneuse

 

  hypotneuse = 80/cos 63.15 = 177.1258378

 

Phythagorean: 80^2 + 158^2 = 31364 = 177.0988425^2 = hypotneuse^2 ,  with rounding error

                     which shows the answer is correct
