Asked by Ian

Rashaad is visiting the Big Ben clock tower in London. When observing the tower, his eye level makes a 72 angle with the top of the tower. Given that the tower is 94 meters tall and Rashaad's eye level is 1.8 meters from the ground, apply the sine ratio to find the direct distance from Rashaad's eye level to the top of the tower. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. _ meters.

Vertical difference = 94 − 1.8 = 92.2 m.
sin 72° = opposite/hypotenuse = 92.2 / d ⇒ d = 92.2 / sin72° ≈ 92.2 / 0.95106 ≈ 96.9 ≈ 97 m.

Answer: 97 meters.
