You are measuring the height of a statue. You stand 10 feet from the base of the statue. You measure the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the statue to be 76 degrees find the height h of the statue to the nearest foot
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:h = (10 ft)(4.01) = 40.1 ftStep-by-step explanation:The tangent function relates this elevation to the horizontal distance (10 ft) and the angle of elevation (76 degrees): opp htan 76 degrees = --------- = ------------- = 4.01 adj 10 ftTherefore , h = (10 ft)(4.01) = 40.1 ft
