Question

The angle of elevation from a car to a tower is 32 degrees. The tower is 150ft tall. How far is the car from the tower

Answer 1

240.1 ft

Explanation:

Let the distance between the car and the tower be x ft.

We will solve for tan, which is opposite/adjacent

tan32 = 150/x

x(tan32) = 150

x = 150/tan32

x = 240.1
