The angle of elevation from Mindy to a cell phone tower is 75 degrees. If Mindy is standing 28 feet from the base of the tower, find the height of the cell phone tower. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (one decimal place)(1 point)

Answer 1

Let's assume the height of the cell phone tower is x.
Using the tangent function, we have tan(75) = x/28.
Simplifying the equation, we get x = 28 * tan(75).
Calculating the value, x ≈ 28 * 3.732 = 104.33 feet.
Therefore, the height of the cell phone tower is approximately 104.3 feet.
