34/distance= sinTheta
solve for distance.
The press box at a baseball park is 34ft above the ground. A reporter in the press box looks at an angle of 17 degrees below the horizontal to see second base. What is the horizontal distance from the press box to second base?

tanTheta = h/b
=> b=h/tanTheta
=>b= 34ft/tan(17)
=>b= 111.2ft
111.2ft
=> b=h/tanTheta
=>b= 34ft/tan(17)
=>b= 111.2ft
111.2ft
