Question

1.) A tower casts a shadow that is 60 feet long when the angle

of elevation of the sun is 65". How tall is the tower?

Answer 1

128.67 ft

Explanation:

Let the height of the tower be x feet.

`\tan \: 65 \degree = (x)/(60) \\ \\ 2.1445069205 = (x)/(60) \\ \\ x = 2.1445069205 * 60 \\ \\ x = 128.670415 \\ \\ x = 128.67 \: ft`
