Question 808878: A scalene triangle's two angles of elevation are of sizes 28 degrees and 26 degrees. The hypotenuse is a length of 2000m, and the hypotenuse lies as the ground. Can you please. Find the height of the triangle? This question was in a practice paper for geometric reasoning, and I couldn't figure out the answer, and I have tried to find the answer using trig, Pythagoras, and other geometric reasoning formulae. Please help me, I want to know how to do this so I can be prepared for my exam.
