I wish I had a figure. As I read this, the radius is 29.0/2PI
h/r=tan35
As I read your 55 is at the bottom up, so his angle down must be 35, and the tangent to that is h/radius.
solve for height h
A high fountain of water is located at the center of a circular pool as shown in the figure below. Not wishing to get his feet wet, a student walks around the pool and measures its circumference to be 29.0 m. Next, the student stands at the edge of the pool and uses a protractor to gauge the angle of elevation at the bottom of the fountain to be 55.0°. How high is the fountain?
