Question

Solve for h in this right triangle. Show all steps and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

708.56 ft

Explanation:

Use the tangent trig rule, TOA in SOH-CAH-TOA. Take your opposite, h, and divide it over your adjacent, 875. Then take the tangent of 39° using a calculator, and multiply 875 on both sides to get h by itself, that being the result of 708.56 ft rounded.
