height=1.83 + 63*tanAngle
and tangent (tan) can be found easily.
A man 1.83mtall standsat a distanceof 14.8maway from thebase ofa tower giventhat th angleofelevation is63.findtheheight
6 answers
well, if you mean the angle of elevation from the top of the man's head, then if the height of the tower is h, you can see from the diagram that
(h-1.83)/14.8 = tan63°
so now just solve for h.
(h-1.83)/14.8 = tan63°
so now just solve for h.
I NEED THE ANSWERS IN DETAILS
I DONT UNDERSTAND
You need to review the basic trig functions.
If you draw the diagram, and understand the tangent function, this is easy.

Tan63 = Y/X = Y/14.8.
Y = 14.8*tan63 =
h = 1.83 + Y =
Y = 14.8*tan63 =
h = 1.83 + Y =
