Question

A girl with eyes level height of 1.65 observes that the angle of elevation of the top of a tower 20m away is 40,calculate the height of the tower

Answers

GPT 3.5
Let the height of the tower be h meters.

Using trigonometry, we can set up the following equation:

tan(40) = h / 20

tan(40) = h / 20

h = 20 * tan(40)

h ≈ 20 * 0.8391

h ≈ 16.782 meters

Therefore, the height of the tower is approximately 16.782 meters.
